On the afternoon of June 6, a powerful explosion rocked Zaporizhzhia. A Russian attack struck directly the roof of a large supermarket building. The incident occurred in a densely populated area, leading to serious consequences for civilians.

### Casualties and consequences of the attack

According to Ivan Fedorov, the head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional State Administration, people were injured as a result of the impact. Among the wounded was a 10-year-old boy. The child suffered a hand injury and was urgently hospitalized. Medical personnel are providing necessary assistance to all those injured during the incident.

The danger of the situation was exacerbated by the fact that the fire spread to neighboring buildings. A fire broke out in an apartment of a residential building located opposite the impact site. Emergency service personnel arrived promptly to extinguish the fire and assist citizens.

### Series of attacks on the city

The daytime strike on the commercial facility was a continuation of a series of attacks that began earlier on the morning of June 6. Russian forces used attack drones to shell the city. During the morning wave of the attack, critical and industrial infrastructure facilities were targeted.

According to authorities, the morning shelling resulted in the death of two workers at one of the enterprises. Additionally, a drone crash caused a fire at a parking lot adjacent to a residential building, where a woman sustained injuries. Various infrastructure facilities in the city were also reported damaged.
