Russian Attack on Zaporizhzhia Kills At Least One on Christmas Eve, Governor Says
A Russian attack on Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region on December 24, 2025, has killed at least one person and injured three, according to the local governor. The attack highlights the ongoing conflict amid the holiday season.
As much of the world prepared for Christmas, a deadly attack struck southern Ukraine. A Russian attack on the Zaporizhzhia region on December 24th killed at least one person and injured three, according to the region's governor, Ivan Fedorov.
Details of the Attack
Governor Fedorov reported the civilian casualties on his Telegram channel, stating that Russian forces were responsible. Further details about the specific munitions used or the exact locations targeted have not yet been released. The Zaporizhzhia region has been a strategic flashpoint since the early days of the war, as it's home to Europe's largest nuclear power plant, a source of major international concern.
Winter War Intensifies
The strike comes as the conflict settles into a war of attrition for the winter. With neither side achieving a decisive breakthrough on the front lines, both have increasingly relied on long-range attacks using drones and artillery. These attacks, often targeting civilian areas and infrastructure ahead of the holidays, are expected to deepen the humanitarian crisis.
