Russia-Ukraine war live: ‘evil’ Russian strike on Zaporizhzhia hits apartments, says Zelenskiy; Putin meets Xi in Beijing

Russian strike on Zaporizhzhia kills two, says Zelenskiy

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the Russian missile that slammed into a residential building in the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia early on Wednesday has killed at least two people and wounded five.

Zelenskiy said eight apartments had been destroyed in the strike on Zaporizhzhia and rescuers were searching for any survivors in the rubble. His office said three people were missing after the attack, Reuters reports.

On Telegram, he said:

Overnight, Russian terrorists attacked Zaporizhzhia with missiles, striking an ordinary five-storey residential building.

The evil state continues to use terror and wage war on civilians. Russian terror must be defeated.
