Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia kills 20, including three children

At least 20 people, including three children, were killed in a Russian guided-bomb attack on Zaporizhzhia on Saturday, Oct. 10. Ukraine’s national news agency Ukrinform reported the latest casualty count as 32 people injured, citing regional official Ivan Fedorov. The reported number of wounded rose from an earlier count of 18 as the day progressed. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said five guided bombs struck residential buildings; that description is his account of the attack. The strike came a day after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a deal involving Russian diesel. Zelenskyy argued that easing sanctions would bring Moscow more revenue; that is his assessment of the policy, separate from the confirmed casualty toll.
