Russian glide bomb attack on Zaporizhzhia kills at least 15 people

Russia has attacked the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia with five glide bombs, killing at least 15 people including three children, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.

The glide bombs hit residential buildings in the south-eastern city, he added. At least 16 other people were injured in the attack, state emergency services said, with more still missing, believed to be under the rubble after the strike on Saturday morning.

Zelensky said 13 other regions had also been hit overnight, adding: "Our responses to [these] Russian strikes will come".

The Russian attacks happened just hours after President Donald Trump announced a deal to import Russian diesel into the US.

Photos and videos from the site of one of the strikes show an apartment block mostly destroyed.

"The ground floor was hit, and the floors above just collapsed," acting Mayor Regina Kharchenko told Ukrainian television, speaking from the scene.

She said more than 80 workers were involved in ongoing search and rescue operations which are expected to continue throughout the day.

The rescuers regularly stop to listen for any noises made by survivors who could be under the rubble.

Kharchenko said Russia had struck at "our very heart" and "our littlest ones" were among those killed, adding that their deaths were "awful grief for their families. For the city."
