“A massive strike on Trostianets. Gas stations in the city have been destroyed. Many households have been damaged,” Bova wrote.
However, he did not specify the type of weapons used or provide details on the extent of the damage.
According to the mayor, no civilian casualties were reported despite the scale of the attack.
Infrastructure strikes
The attack comes as Russia continues regular strikes on Ukraine’s border regions, including the Sumy Oblast, which has faced increasing drone, missile, and artillery attacks in recent months.
On Friday, following Russia’s strikes on civilian infrastructure, a railway worker was killed in the region while another employee was left injured. Separate strikes damaged a logistics terminal in Zaporizhzhia and a solar energy facility in the Odesa region.
Late on Tuesday, Russian forces launched five strikes on Zaporizhzhia, killing one person and wounding seven, according to regional officials.
The attack damaged Zaporizhzhia National University, a shopping center, and a residential building, while fires broke out at several sites.
