A Russian strike hits a shopping centre in Zaporizhzhia, southeastern Ukraine, triggering a large fire that engulfs the building, multiple outlets report. Video and other footage released by regional authorities show flames spreading through the structure. Officials quoted by the reports say the incident occurs on Thursday.
Both outlets describe the event as an attack on the city’s shopping centre and say emergency response efforts follow the strike. The Guardian notes that officials do not report casualties, citing information from the Zaporizhzhzhia regional military administration. Al Jazeera similarly focuses on the fire caused by the strike, describing its scale and location. The two accounts align on the basic facts—place, cause, and the fact that the fire is extensive—while differing mainly in the emphasis placed on published video material.
No additional details are provided in the two reports about damage assessments, specific targets, or whether any casualties are later confirmed.
