Four civilians have been killed in a Russian attack near the front line in Zaporizhzhya in southern Ukraine, according to the county’s Ukrainian governor, Yuri Malashko.
He writes on Telegram that some kind of guided projectile struck “during the distribution of humanitarian aid in a residential area” in the town of Orichiv. The governor attaches several photos showing bombed-out buildings. The circumstances are difficult to verify.
Four people — three women and one man, all in their 40s — were killed, according to Malashko. Eleven people receive hospital care for injuries of varying degrees, he adds.
