The night of July 24 to 25 proved to be another severe trial for the residents of Zaporizhzhia. As a result of a Russian attack on the city, a shopping center caught fire, and a 63-year-old man was among the injured. The situation at the scene remains tense: emergency services are working to eliminate the consequences of the strike.

### Chronology of the Tragedy

The threat of using large-caliber aviation bombs (KABs) and strike drones against Zaporizhzhia and the region was recorded as early as around 22:00. However, the main strike hit in the late hours. At 23:58, the head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration (RMA), Ivan Fedorov, officially reported a hit on the shopping center.

According to the official, the shopping center premises were damaged by the Russian strike. A fire immediately broke out at the point of impact, quickly engulfing a significant part of the building. According to updated data, the fire area is 500 square meters. The fire is destroying goods and causing serious damage to the building's infrastructure.

### Casualties and Assistance

Information about human casualties has been confirmed. As a result of the enemy attack on Zaporizhzhia, a 63-year-old man was injured. He is already receiving all necessary medical assistance. Rescuers and firefighters continue to work at the scene, trying to localize the fire and prevent further spread of the flames.

### Context of Escalation

The attack on the shopping center is not an isolated incident. Russians attack Zaporizhzhia daily, using drones and air bombs for their strikes. On Thursday, July 23, the city was shelled with KABs, resulting in damage to a medical center building, a five-story residential building, and cars. At that time, 25 people were injured.

The day before, on July 22, the enemy struck a food industry enterprise with drones. The consequences of that attack also included a fire and casualties. Regular strikes on civilian infrastructure and residential areas create a constant threat to the population of the region.
