Russian officials have meanwhile accused Ukraine of attacking the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.
At least three people have been killed after Russia fired five missiles on Ukraine’s southern city of Zaporizhzhia, the regional governor said.
“What marks today’s strikes: first, there were two missile strikes, and then, about 40 minutes later, there were other strikes at the same place – just as rescuers, police started working,” Governor Ivan Fedorov said on national television.
Thirteen people were wounded, including a nine-year old boy, and four were hospitalised in grave condition. Two journalists were among the wounded.
At least three apartment blocks, 10 private houses, shops and an unidentified industrial facility were also damaged, Fedorov said.
Images from the site, shared by Fedorov and the interior ministry, captured shattered windows of a cafe and a small shop.
