  • Story Text: Ukrainian officials reported more strikes on Tuesday (October 11), including one on the southeastern town of Zaporizhzhia which killed at least one person, although there did not appear to be a repeat of Monday's nationwide attacks.
    Zaporizhzhia governor Oleksandr Starukh said 12 missiles hit the city.
    Reuters video showed a destroyed car dealership and a residential building behind with blown out windows.
    Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine's sixth largest city, has remained under Ukrainian control throughout the war, despite Russia occupying most of the surrounding province, among four partially occupied regions that Moscow claims to have annexed this month.
    Apartment blocks there have been struck overnight at least three times in the past week, killing civilians while they slept. Moscow has denied intentionally targeting them.
