"For the fourth night, the enemy has been shelling the city with guided aerial bombs. Once again, there are three locations in the residential sector where the enemy has destroyed or damaged residential buildings. So far, over 150 reports from residents regarding damaged homes have been documented. Preliminary assessments show that some multi-story buildings are damaged to such an extent that they will likely be declared uninhabitable, and residents will receive certificates to purchase new apartments," he said.

According to the city council, over the past four days in Zaporizhzhia, 105 apartment buildings and 219 private households have been damaged. Three private houses have been destroyed, and one has been partially damaged.
