ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine: A Russian guided bomb attack on Wednesday killed at least 13 people and injured 63 in Ukraine\u2019s southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, authorities said.
\nThe blast left bodies strewn across a road alongside injured residents. Public transport was also damaged in the strike.
\nProsecutors in the region said 63 people had been injured. Rescue work had been completed at the site of the attack.
\nHigh-rise apartment blocks were damaged along with an industrial facility and other infrastructure, Ukraine\u2019s prosecutor general office said on Telegram. The debris hit a tram and a bus with passengers inside, it added.
\nAs emergency workers tried to resuscitate a man, raging flames, smoke and burnt cars could be seen in the background.
\nRussian troops had used two guided bombs to hit a residential area, the regional governor Ivan Fedorov told reporters.
\nAt least four of the injured were rushed to hospital in serious condition, Fedorov said, adding that Thursday would be an official day of mourning.
\n\u201cThere is nothing more cruel than launching aerial bombs on a city, knowing that ordinary civilians will suffer,\u201d President Volodymyr Zelensky said on X, urging Ukraine\u2019s Western allies to step up pressure on Russia.
\nRegional authorities reported further explosions after the first strike hit.
\nFedorov said Russian troops shelled the town of Stepnohirsk, south of Zaporizhzhia, killing two people. Two residents were pulled alive from underneath rubble.
\nRussia regularly carries out air strikes on the Zaporizhzhia region, which its forces partially occupy, and its capital. Moscow claims to have annexed the Ukrainian region along with four others including Crimea.
\nPublic broadcaster Suspilne also reported two people killed and 10 injured in attacks on several centers in the southern region of Kherson, also partially occupied by Russian forces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
