Russian Missile Strike on Zaporizhzhia Kills Eight, Rescue Efforts Ongoing

The attack destroyed civilian infrastructure, injured 22 people, and raised concerns about a potential new Russian offensive in southern Ukraine.

A Russian missile strike on Zaporizhzhia on December 10 killed at least eight people and injured 22, including a five-year-old girl, according to Ukrainian authorities.
The attack targeted a private clinic and a commercial building, with multiple residential structures also sustaining damage.
Rescue teams are working to locate survivors under the rubble, with up to five people still believed to be trapped as temperatures hover near freezing.
Ukrainian officials warn that the intensified strikes in southern Ukraine may signal preparations for a new Russian ground offensive in the region.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has renewed calls for Western nations to supply additional air defense systems, including U.S.-made Patriot batteries, to counter escalating missile attacks.
