Attack on frontline town in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region kills one

Russian forces shelled a frontline settlement in Ukraine's southeast Zaporizhzhia region on Monday, killing one person and injuring five, the regional governor said.

Ivan Fedorov, writing on the Telegram messaging app, did not identify the settlement, but posted pictures of heavily damaged homes and other buildings alongside piles of rubble.

He said a 66-year-old woman had died in the attack.

Zaporizhzhia is one of four regions partly occupied by Russian forces. All four were formally annexed by Moscow seven months after the Kremlin sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine in February 2022.
