Russia strikes Zaporizhzhia with North Korean ballistic missiles, Zircons and guided aerial bombs.

Axar.az reports that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a statement on X that Russia struck Zaporizhzhia with North Korean ballistic missiles, Zircon missiles and guided aerial bombs.

“It was a vicious attack, calculated to inflict maximum damage specifically to civilian infrastructure. Unfortunately, as of now, six people have been reported killed and 19 wounded in the city,” Zelensky said.

According to the Ukrainian president, Kyiv was also targeted, where a missile strike damaged an infectious diseases hospital and businesses. The Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk and Mykolaiv regions also came under attack, while more than 120 drones were used against Ukraine, most of them jet-powered Shahed drones.

“Every step Russia takes — increasing ballistic missile production, bringing in North Korean equipment, preparing for mobilization — all of this shows that Moscow is preparing not for peace, but for escalation,” Zelensky stressed.
