The Russian military struck Zaporizhzhia with a Molniya drone for the first time at night.

This was reported on television by Ivan Fedorov, the Head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration, according to Ukrinform.

"The enemy targeted Zaporizhzhia with a Molniya drone. This is the first time the enemy has used a Molniya at night; previously, the enemy had used it during the day, and countermeasures had been calculated. Now the enemy has upgraded the weapon and equipped it with a night camera, which is why this drone was used during the dark hours of the day," Fedorov said.

At least two high-rise buildings and a supermarket were damaged as a result of the attack. Within 15-20 minutes after the strike, utility workers were already on site, closing broken windows, repairing balconies, and restoring the airtightness of apartments.
