A Russian strike on the southeastern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia has left at least one person dead and 16 others injured, according to local officials.
The attack reportedly hit residential and urban areas during a night-time bombardment on Thursday.
Emergency services were quickly deployed to the scene, where damaged buildings and debris were seen across several locations.
Authorities say rescue teams worked through the night to assist victims and search for anyone trapped under the rubble.
The strike is the latest in a series of attacks targeting cities far from the front lines of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.
Officials in Ukraine say civilian infrastructure has increasingly come under threat as the conflict continues to intensify.
Medical teams are treating the injured, with some reported in serious condition following the explosion.
Local authorities have launched an assessment of the damage while security forces remain on alert for further strikes.
The incident adds to growing concerns over civilian safety in urban areas amid continued aerial attacks.
As the war continues, both sides remain locked in a prolonged conflict with no immediate signs of de-escalation.
