In Zaporizhzhia, in southern Ukraine, a Russian strike on November 11 damaged 36 apartment blocks and over 100 houses.

An overnight attack on the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, involving three powerful glide bombs, killed one person and injured 21, including a 4-year-old boy, on Monday, according to Ukraine’s National Police.

Residents boarded up windows, repaired roofs, and sifted through the rubble for personal belongings amid the widespread damage.

The attack levelled the apartment where Natalia grew up, injuring her family. While her sister and brother-in-law survived, their four-year-old son was trapped under the rubble and remains in intensive care.
