The attack took place on Friday evening and was aimed at the town of Tokmak, which is located about two miles from the front line that divides the Ukrainian Oblast of Zaporizhzhya. The shelling went towards three apartment buildings, according to the Russian data. Buildings were said to have been destroyed, and over the weekend a search and rescue operation has been underway in raging masses. The Russian data has not been verified by any independent party. The Russian-appointed governor of the occupied part of Zaporizhzhya, Yevgeny Balitsky, announced on Sunday that four more people had been found in riots and that one person had died in hospital. Took control two years ago Tokmak had before the large-scale war about 30,000 inhabitants. Russian invasion forces have been in control of the city since early March 2022. In September of that year, Russia said it was annexing the Zaporizhzhya region, one of four Ukrainian regions that the invasion force did not control in its entirety. On Sunday morning, Ukraine’s military reported that Russian forces had carried out hundreds of different types of drone attacks along the front in the south in the course of a day. In Kharkiv in the northeast, which Russia has shelled increasingly intensively recently, Ukrainian authorities report two new civilian casualties since Saturday morning.
