Russian troops launched a series of strikes on the Zaporizhzhia Region at night, one of which hit a penitentiary institution. The head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration Ivan Fedorov has reported this on Telegram.
"At night, the Russians attacked one of the penitentiary institutions of the region. Unfortunately, there are killed and wounded," he noted on Telegram.
According to updated data, 16 people were killed as a result of the strike, another 35 were injured. Fedorov reported that the attack was carried out by at least eight air strikes, probably using FAB aerial bombs.
As a result of the strike, the premises of the institution were destroyed, and private houses located nearby were also damaged.
A penitentiary is a penal institution, including a prison, colony, pre-trial detention center, or other institution where people serving sentences or under investigation are held.
