Russian forces attacked the city of Zaporizhzhia on the evening of 10 August, damaging a civilian building, killing at least one civilian and injuring 16.
On 9 August, Russian forces attacked a residential neighbourhood in Zaporizhzhia. As of the morning of 10 August, three civilians are known to have been killed and nine – including an infant – injured in the attack.
Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, their forces have been regularly hitting civilian targets in Ukraine.
Denise Brown, UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Ukraine, has condemned the missile strike on Zaporizhzhia that Russian forces carried out on 10 August and that damaged the Reikartz hotel, which UN representatives had used in the past during trips to Ukraine.
"I have stayed in this hotel every single time I visited Zaporizhzhia. My team uses it as their base for their frequent travels to the city. It was the UN base for the operation to evacuate civilians from the Azovstal plant in Mariupol in May last year."
Brown said that the number of indiscriminate attacks, which have damaged civilian structures, killing and injuring civilians, "have reached unimaginable levels". She added that these attacks violate international humanitarian law.
