Russian Forces Launch 567 Attacks Killing 2 in Zaporizhzhia Region

Russian forces have intensified attacks on Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region, with hundreds of strikes involving drones, artillery, rockets, and air attacks reported on August 5 and 6, resulting in at least two civilian deaths and 12 injuries, including children. The strikes caused significant damage to residential buildings and infrastructure across multiple settlements, including Zaporizhzhia and Vasylivka districts. Concurrently, Russia launched assaults on other regions, including drone attacks on Synelnyk and Nikopol districts, though no injuries were reported there. In addition to these regional attacks, Russian missile and glide bomb strikes targeted civilian infrastructure across Ukraine, including a prison in Zaporizhzhia where 17 inmates were killed and over 80 injured, prompting accusations of war crimes by Ukrainian officials. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned these deliberate attacks, while President Donald Trump issued an ultimatum to Russian President Vladimir Putin demanding a cessation of violence. Meanwhile, in the Russian-held Luhansk region, a Ukrainian attack killed five municipal workers maintaining water supplies, highlighting the ongoing conflict's deadly impact on civilians on both sides.
