New Delhi: Last night on Saturday, Russia launched a rocket attack on Zaporizhia city of Ukraine. At least 17 people have died in this attack. A top official of Ukraine gave information about this matter. At least 17 people have been killed in a Russian attack on an apartment in the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhia last night.
‘The city was attacked by rockets’
City Council Secretary Anatoly Kurtave said the city was hit by rockets last night, destroying at least five houses and damaging around 40 others. Ukraine’s military also confirmed the attack, saying more than 12 people were injured. Earlier on Saturday, a bridge connecting the Crimean peninsula with Russia exploded, causing the bridge to partially collapse.
Zaporizhia was targeted several times
Let it be known that Russia sends military equipment for war in southern Ukraine through this bridge. Zaporizhia has been targeted several times in recent weeks. It falls in territory controlled by Ukraine, which Russia seized last week. A part of this region is currently under the occupation of Russia. This is where the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant is located, said to be the largest power plant in Europe.
The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has claimed
It is worth mentioning that Russia has faced terrible devastation in the fierce war with Ukraine that has been going on for almost seven months. Ukraine claims it has killed more than 62,000 Russian soldiers so far. And thousands of Russian war vehicles have been destroyed. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has created a sensation around the world by announcing the list of Russian destroyers. Let us tell that the war between Ukraine and Russia started on 24 February 2022.
A total of 62,440 Russian soldiers were killed in Ukraine
The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine claimed a total of 62,440 Russian soldiers killed between 24 February 2022 and 8 October 2022. Along with this, 2478 tanks have also been claimed to be destroyed. This announcement from Ukraine will surely break the morale of the Russian troops. However, Russia has always rejected Ukraine’s claims.
