Russian missile strike in Zaporizhzhia kills six and injures 20

A Russian missile strike in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, on Tuesday killed six people and injured at least 20. The attack also destroyed a critical infrastructure facility, causing a fire, according to local officials.

This incident follows a recent increase in Russian attacks on Zaporizhzhia, which is about 40 km from the frontline. The region is partially occupied by Russian forces and is home to a major nuclear power plant.

Ukrainian officials had issued a ballistic missile alert prior to the attack. The chief of staff to Ukraine's president called for increased support from allies to help counter the ongoing Russian assaults.
