Russian aerial strikes hit residential areas in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region, killing at least seven people and wounding others, according to Ukrainian officials cited by multiple outlets. ABC News and The Independent report seven deaths, including three children, and at least 10 people injured. Other reports place the death toll slightly higher.
The attacks come a day after President Donald Trump announces a deal to buy Russian diesel, which Kyiv warns would help finance Russia’s war effort. CBS frames the timing as politically linked to the diesel agreement, while other outlets emphasize the attack details and casualty figures. Across coverage, the central focus is the reported residential bombing and the reported context of renewed controversy over a U.S.-Russia energy arrangement.
