This was reported by the Southern Defense Forces on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.

"The enemy is once again laying routes through residential areas of civilian settlements, as a result of which the fragments of downed drones damaged several private houses and outbuildings in the Zaporizhzhia district. No people were injured," the military said.

They informed that at night the enemy attacked from the south with several waves of attack drones. The Shahed-131/136 type UAVs from the temporarily occupied Crimea entered both through the temporarily occupied left-bank part of the Kherson region and from the Black Sea.
