Zelensky says Russian strike on Zaporizhzhia used North Korean missiles

Kyiv’s president announced that a recent strike on the city of Zaporizhzhia resulted in at least six fatalities and 19 injuries, attributing the attack to ballistic missiles supplied by a Russian ally. The missiles hit residential areas in the southern Ukrainian region, prompting emergency services to conduct rescue operations and medical teams to treat the wounded.

Ukrainian officials said the weapons used were identified as a type commonly exported by the ally, which has previously been implicated in similar attacks across the front line. The incident adds to a series of recent bombardments that have intensified amid ongoing hostilities, and authorities are calling for a thorough investigation to hold the perpetrators accountable under international law.
