Russian forces struck a residential area in Zaporizhzhia around 5 a.m. on 17 October with multiple missile strikes, damaging multi-storey apartment buildings and injuring five civilians, including an 11-year-old girl. The blast wave also damaged the office of the Suspilne Zaporizhzhia broadcaster, though no staff were inside. The attack was part of a broader overnight Russian assault on multiple Ukrainian cities that also hit Kryvyi Rih and Kherson.
