Figures for casualties and injuries have not been verified by independent sources. Both sides of the conflict often speak of heavy losses on the opponent’s side.
According to DPA, a spokesman for the Russian occupation council in Zaporizhzhya, Vladimir Rogov, says the Ukrainian attack was aimed at the district hospital and that among the victims were a military doctor and several patients.
Ukraine has been reporting massive attacks on Russian troops for several days. From Kiev, over 400 enemy soldiers are said to have been killed in an attack on Makiivka in the Donetsk region and 500 in an offensive on Chulakivka in Kherson.
From Russia, there were only reports of 89 dead in their own ranks. The number comes from Ukrainian artillery attacks on New Year’s Eve.
