Explosions could be heard by residents in the city of Zaporizhzhia when Russian missiles struck an enterprise. This was confirmed by the Oblast Military Administration, who displayed a photo displaying the result of the catastrophic attack on the enterprise.
Ukrinform also reported that the The Prosecutor General’s Office, Anatolli Kurtiev said in a Telegram post, “On July 13, the military of the aggressor country fired at the infrastructure of Zaporizhya. Rockets hit one of the industrial enterprises. According to preliminary data, 14 people were injured.”
A pre-trial investigation has commenced as part of criminal proceedings on the violation of the laws and customs of war, (Part 1 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) under the procedural guidance of the Zaporizhya Regional Prosecutor’s Office.
The Prosecutor General’s Office, Anatolli Kurtiev who is also the Secretary of the Zaporizhzhia City Council, referred to the catastrophe by Russia by stating “Today, rashist monsters have brought another disaster to our city. Two of their missiles hit one of the city’s businesses.”
“There is considerable destruction, and the worst thing is that people have been wounded. Currently, we know about 12 victims who are already receiving medical care in hospitals. Relevant services are working at the scene. Rescue operations are ongoing” he said.
Kurtiev urged the residents of Zaporizhzhia not to spread information about the airstrikes on social networks or in comments on Telegram channels, or elsewhere, such as chat rooms, due to concerns of safety.

“Do not write or post photos and videos about where exactly the explosions took place. Now is not the right time for ‘hype’ at all. Even if the photo or video is ‘blurred’, you can still calculate the coordinates from it,” he stressed.
Kurtiev argued that whilst communicating in chats, people should be vigilant as it cannot be certain that there are no enemy collaborators, artillery observers or other accomplices of the Russians present.
The attack signaled Moscow’s strong resolution to hold onto territory in Ukraine’s southern area whilst it aims to totally take hold of the east. Military forces of Ukraine have increased its actions in a bid to reclaim more territory in the south.
