Russia Kills at Least 6 in Attacks on Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine
On Thursday, September 17, Russian drones struck The Amstor shopping mall in Zaporizhzhia, igniting a major fire that rescue operations extinguished on Friday morning.
Ukrainian authorities reported that additional civilian infrastructure, including buses and commercial facilities, was targeted during the assault; Russians allegedly used an FPV drone to strike a local bus.
Ukraine's State Emergency Service described the complex as "practically destroyed" after fire crews repeatedly sought shelter from potential follow-up strikes before extinguishing the blaze.
Mykhailo Semikin said the enemy "struck a supermarket on the right bank," causing a massive fire, and added there is "no need to panic or hoard food."
Local reports indicate children at a nearby skatepark survived the explosion by sheltering in concrete recesses, while an air raid alert remains in force in Zaporizhzhia.
