Quote: "9 multi-storey and dozens of private houses were damaged during a night strike of Russian occupation forces in Zaporizhzhia. 

In apartment buildings, the blast wave shattered windows and destroyed window frames in apartments and stairwells. 

40 private houses were also damaged. Unfortunately, two of them are completely destroyed."

Details: The acting mayor noted that local utilities workers have estimated the level of damage and "given the residents of the affected houses a window film to cover the holes." Restoration works on the buildings will begin on Monday.

Background: Earlier, it was reported that on Sunday night, Russian forces hit a civilian target – one of the summer cottage cooperatives in Shevchenkivskyi District of Zaporizhzhia. Two people received light shrapnel wounds and refused to be hospitalised. Three country houses were destroyed; there was no one inside.
