STORY: At least one person was killed in a nighttime Russian attack on Ukraine's southeastern Zaporizhzhia region, according to officials on Saturday (August 30).

According to the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration's Telegram channel on Saturday, at least 22 people were injured as rescue work was underway.

The same Telegram channel reported of explosions being heard late on Friday (August 29), before saying it was a Russian attack that hit residential and retail spaces.

In footage released on Saturday by regional emergency services, firefighters and paramedics could be seen fighting blazes in destroyed buildings and tending to residents. The location and date of the video could not be verified.

Russia has denied targeting civilians since launching its full-scale invasion in February 2022 but says energy systems and other infrastructure are legitimate targets because they help Ukraine's war effort.
