A Russian strike on the city of Orikhiv has killed four people, Yury Malashko, head of Zaporizhzhia’s regional administration, reported on Monday.

“Four people died on the spot: three women aged 43, 45, and 47, and a 47-year-old man. 11 locals have been taken to the hospital with various injuries,” he wrote.

Malashko added that the Russian military had conducted a total of 36 strikes targeting 10 settlements in Zaporizhzhia, destroying 10 civil buildings and injuring a 65-year-old man in the hamlet of Novodanylivka.
