"At least 12 people were injured, one of whom was rescued by emergency workers from under the rubble of destroyed structures," the post added.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said first responders, medics and police officers are working to help after a strike by Russian bombs in Zaporizhzhia.
