Russian forces launched airstrikes on Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region on the evening of Friday, November 22, including a targeted attack using a FAB-500 bomb.

That's according to the Zaporizhzhia region police, Ukrinform reports.

"Yesterday, the Russian military struck from the air, using a FAB-500 bomb equipped with a UPMK universal gliding and correction module, targeting Zaporizhzhia. The bomb hit a private enterprise, with blast waves and debris damaging nearby houses, garages, and vehicles," local law enforcement stated.

The attack injured an 11-year-old child, who was hospitalized with a shrapnel wound to the eye. In a separate strike on Tavriiske, a farm was destroyed. Emergency responders and police recovered the body of a deceased security guard from the rubble.
