00:00 Windows blown out and a nearby church left damaged.
00:04 A Russian strike left its mark on this part of Zaporizhzhia Wednesday.
00:08 Along with the church, three educational facilities and five residential buildings felt the force
00:14 of the attack.
00:16 I was making food and for a second I thought I might go into the other room.
00:20 I just went out to the corridor and the explosion rang out.
00:24 At that time my husband and child were outside.
00:27 If I had been in the kitchen I think I would have been injured.
00:31 She's one of the lucky ones.
00:33 The strike has shaken this community.
00:36 And for some, it's all too much to bear.
00:39 Medics worked late into the night treating those left injured in the attack, while emergency
00:44 teams looked for survivors among the debris.
00:47 In his lightly address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky paid tribute to those killed
00:52 in the strike.
00:55 Russian terrorists struck Zaporizhzhia again.
00:58 There are casualties.
01:00 Unfortunately some people have been injured.
01:03 My condolences to the families and loved ones who have lost their dear ones.
01:09 The city is just 50 kilometres north-east of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which
01:14 has been under Russian control since the start of the war.
01:18 Wednesday's attack puts authorities on high alert once again.
01:22 Activities on the plant's surrounding areas have raised persistent fears of a nuclear
01:26 accident.
