The city of Zaporizhzhia has been subjected to another hostile attack by guided bombs. It is previously known that 23 people, including four children, were injured. One person was killed. Journalists from local and all-Ukrainian media are already working at the site of the bombing to show the world the terrible consequences of russian aggression.
“The russians dropped two aerial bombs on Zaporizhzhia in the middle of the day. They were targeting civilians as one of the bombs hit a residential area of the city. One person was killed, and at least four children were injured. This is my native area, I live nearby, so I heard the explosions well. When we arrived at the scene of the attack, we saw frightened people; everywhere, there was debris from a battered high-rise building and broken cars. We are working so that the whole world can see russian crimes,” says Kira Oves, a correspondent for the 1+1 TV channel.
The network of Journalists’ Solidarity Centers is an initiative of the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine, implemented in collaboration with the International and European Federations of Journalists and UNESCO and with the support of the People of Japan. Our primary goal is to assist media professionals working in Ukraine during the war. The Centers are active in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro, Lviv, and Ivano-Frankivsk. The project is part of UNESCO’s broader efforts to support the Safety of Journalists and Freedom of Expression in Ukraine.
