Mother recounts daughter’s escape from Russian drone-struck building
Overnight, Russia attacked various Ukrainian cities with drones causing damage to civilian building and injuring at least one person.
Since the full-scale invasion began in 2022, Russia has been targeting civilian infrastructure daily, particularly homes, schools, and hospitals, to disrupt daily life and instill fear. Russia also attacks power plants and grids, which leads to humanitarian crisis, especially during harsh weather conditions. However, the Kremlin denies all these allegations.
On the night of 2 March, Russian forces launched 79 Iranian-designed Shahed strike UAVs and various types of drone decoys at Ukraine. Ukrainian air defenses successfully intercepted 63 of the attacking drones across thirteen oblasts. An additional 16 drone decoys were “locationally lost without negative consequences,” according to the Air Force statement.
As a result of the Russian attack, Kharkiv, Sumy, Khmelnytskyi oblasts and Zaporizhzhia city were affected.
Zaporizhzhia attack
A Russian strike destroyed the roof of the four-story apartment building in the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, resulting in a fire that spread across approximately 300 square meters. Emergency services responded quickly to the scene.
“A 31-year-old woman was injured and has been transported to hospital,” according to Ivan Fedorov, the Governor of Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
On the evening of 1 March, Russian drone struck an apartment building in Zaporizhzhia, causing fire.
One woman was injured.
