Aug 11 (Reuters) – Russian attacks killed six people and wounded 20 in the southeastern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia early on Tuesday and also struck Kyiv, triggering fires in the capital, officials said.
Zaporizhzhia Regional Governor Ivan Fedorov said Russian troops launched missiles and aerial bombs at the city. He posted pictures showing buildings and vehicles ablaze.
Air raid alerts were sounded in both Zaporizhzhia and in Kyiv, where the capital’s military administration said warehouses in a central district were ablaze. One person was reported injured. Mayor Vitali Klitschko said medical personnel had been dispatched to a central district. Reuters witnesses reported hearing explosions in the city.
Elsewhere in Ukraine, local authorities reported another six people were killed and 16 wounded overnight in the regions of Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk.
