A Russian glide bomb strike hit a residential area in the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, causing significant destruction to a large apartment block. Local authorities report that at least 15 people have been killed in the attack, with the death toll potentially rising as emergency services continue to clear debris. Among the casualties are children, according to officials on the ground.

The use of glide bombs—munitions equipped with wings that allow them to be launched from a distance—has become a frequent tactic in the ongoing conflict. These weapons are difficult to intercept and cause extensive structural damage. While the immediate focus remains on search and rescue efforts, the incident highlights the ongoing vulnerability of civilian infrastructure in frontline cities. There is currently no information regarding the specific military objective of the strike or any Russian government statement acknowledging the incident. The situation remains fluid as rescue teams work through the remains of the apartment block.
