At least 12 killed in Russian strikes on Ukrainian cities
At least 12 people have been killed in Russian strikes on the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, in one of the highest death tolls from a single attack so far this year.
The same wave of attacks also hit the cities of Dnipro and Kramatorsk, according to the supplied report.
No further details were given on the scale of damage in those locations.
The confirmed toll in Zaporizhzhia makes the incident one of the deadliest single strikes reported in Ukraine this year.
It underlines the continuing risk to civilians in cities far from the front line.
Zaporizhzhia has been repeatedly affected by Russian attacks during the war, but the supplied material does not provide any additional context on the target or the type of weapons used in this latest strike.
The report does not say whether emergency services were still working at the scene, or whether officials had issued a wider assessment of casualties and damage across the three cities.
It also remains unclear whether the death toll in Zaporizhzhia could rise further, or whether more information will emerge on the attacks in Dnipro and Kramatorsk.
