Russian strikes on the city of Zaporizhzhia in southeastern Ukraine have resulted in at least fifteen deaths, including three children, according to figures provided by local authorities.

The strikes hit residential areas, with guided aerial bombs dropped on the city, causing significant damage and raising deep concern among residents.

In parallel, Volodymyr Zelensky warned that the recent attacks have caused "considerable damage" to the Ukrainian power grid, leading to emergency power outages in several regions.

Authorities implemented these restrictions in response to the bombings targeting energy infrastructure, highlighting the impact on energy supply during the upcoming winter season.

This challenging context coincides with talks between Ukraine and the United States, reported as "constructive," while concerns persist regarding the humanitarian situation in the region.

The conflict continues to have tragic repercussions on the civilian population, with calls for increased international support in light of the ongoing violence.
