Yesterday, Russian forces targeted the Zaporizhzhia region 472 times within 24 hours, striking eight different settlements.

This information was shared by Ivan Fedorov, the head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration, on the social media platform Telegram.

The barrage included three air strikes on the villages of Lobkovo and Malynivka.

In addition, 293 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of various types attacked several settlements, including Gulyaipole, Novoandriivka, Robotyne, Mala Tokmachka, Levadne, and Malynyvka.

Gulyaipole and Mala Tokmachka were also hit by six rounds of shelling from multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS).

Moreover, 170 artillery shells were fired on multiple areas, including Gulyaipol, Zaliznychny, Novoandriivka, Robotyny, Mala Tokmachka, Malynyvka, and Levadny.

Despite the heavy bombardment, which resulted in the destruction of several homes, no civilian casualties were reported, according to Fedorov.

This attack follows a similar strike just a day earlier, where Russian forces delivered nearly 500 blows on 16 settlements within the same region.
