A woman who was injured in the shelling of Zaporizhzhia on January 8 near an industrial facility has died in the hospital. She was in extremely critical condition.

"The number of victims from the January 8 attack has increased. A woman who was in extremely critical condition has died in the city hospital," she wrote.

Kharchenko noted that doctors fought for the woman’s life until the very end.

Thus, the number of casualties from the Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia on January 8 has risen to 15. It is worth mentioning that earlier, the head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional State Administration, Ivan Fedorov reported that the number of victims had risen to 14 people.

Shelling of Zaporizhzhia on January 8

Previously, we reported that on Wednesday, January 8, Russia carried out an airstrike on Zaporizhzhia. Russia almost immediately responded to its own attack with KABs on Zaporizhzhia on January 8. Kremlin propagandists blamed it all on the "Ukrainian Air Defense Forces."

Additionally, Fedorov explained in a comment to RBK-Ukraine why there were such a high number of casualties in the city. According to him, this occurred at a time when locals were preparing to go home after the end of their work shifts.
