**Deck**: Russian bombs hit multi‑storey residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia, killing four people and injuring eleven, Ukrainian regional authorities say. The strike partially collapsed the entrance of one block and left children among the dead and wounded.

Russian bombs slammed into residential high‑rises in the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia on 10 October, killing adults and children and tearing open a multi‑storey entrance, according to Ukrainian regional and defense officials.

The regional administration in Zaporizhzhia reported that Russian forces dropped bombs on the city, damaging several multi‑storey apartment buildings and causing a partial collapse of an entrance section in one of them. Initial figures from the regional authorities said four people had been killed and three injured, with searches underway for one missing person.

Later, the regional defense council said the number of injured had risen to eleven, including two children. It confirmed that among the four people killed was a child. At the time of the last update in the material available, emergency services were still working at the site and looking for anyone trapped in the rubble.

The attack shows how people living in a major regional centre that isn’t currently the focus of the heaviest ground fighting still face lethal danger from the air. Apartment buildings that serve as homes and shelters for families have again become front‑line targets.

On the same morning, Ukrainian officials reported a separate Russian strike on the outskirts of Dnipro. According to the regional administration there, vehicles caught fire on the grounds of a municipal enterprise after an attack.

Officials in Lviv also said that Ukrainian air defences were operating over the city, underlining the wider pattern of Russian air attacks and Ukrainian attempts to intercept them across several regions.

Taken together, the reports from Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro, and Lviv describe another day in which urban areas far from trench lines still absorb bomb and missile strikes. The key developments to watch are any further updates to casualty figures in Zaporizhzhia, fuller damage assessments from emergency services, and whether Ukraine shifts air‑defence assets in response to this latest wave of attacks on cities.
