Komyshuvakha, located about 20 kilometers from the front line, has been a front-line settlement since November 2025, facing repeated Russian guided aerial bomb attacks, the Zaporizhzhia Investigation Center reported.
Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the average cumulative downtime has reached 186.3 working days per shopping center, according to the Ukrainian Council of Shopping Centers (UCSC).
Ukrainian officials claimed that a Russian collaborator involved in the sham referendums in occupied territories was killed in a Ukrainian drone strike, identified as Elena Astanina, reportedly killed on September 15 in the village of Zhovtneve in the Russian-occupied part of Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
Zelensky offered his condolences to the families and loved ones of those killed in Thursday's attack, stressing that decisions with partners on additional support, including strengthening Ukraine’s air defenses, were expected later in the day to protect Ukrainians from Russian terror.
