Russian strikes on Ukraine's southern Zaporizhzhia region killed three people on Monday, in the second day of deadly attacks on the area, its governor said.
The strike on the rural area came a day after three people were killed in a Russian attack on the town of Huliaipole.
"Three people were killed and three people were wounded in the Polohivskyi district" of Zaporizhzhia, Governor Ivan Federov said on social media.
He said Russian forces struck eight populated areas in Zaporizhzhia "357 times" over the last 24 hours.
Russia controls part of the Zaporizhzhia region and on Sunday it claimed that Kyiv had attacked the Moscow-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant with a drone.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has dragged on for more than two years.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
