Russian strikes killed two people and

wounded 10 others, including four children, in Ukraine's

Zaporizhzhia region, Governor Ivan Fedorov said on Wednesday.

Russian forces carried out 567 attacks over the 24 hours into

Wednesday morning across 16 settlements in the region, Fedorov

said. Zaporizhzhia has been on the front lines of the war that

Russia launched against its smaller neighbour in February 2022.



At least nine buildings were damaged in the early morning

strikes on the Zaporizhzhia city district alone, Fedorov said on

the Telegram messaging app. Zaporizhzhia city is the

administrative centre of the broader region.



"Emergency services continue to respond on the ground,"

Fedorov said.



Reuters could not independently verify the report. There was

no immediate comment from Russia.



Both sides deny targeting civilians in their strikes on each

other's territory. But thousands of civilians have died in the

conflict, the vast majority of them Ukrainian.
