Part of a coordinated air offensive
The attack on Zaporizhia coincides with massive Russian air strikes recorded at the same time against the capital Kiev and the second largest city of Kharkiv. International observers note a significant escalation in the use of drones and cheap "kamikaze" munitions; against Ukraine's energy and logistics infrastructure in recent days.
As reported by the Reuters news agency (Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/overnight-russian-attack-triggers-fires-ukrainian-capital-kyiv-2026-07-25/), Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has already warned of an expected increase in the intensity of Russian attacks in the coming hours. Authorities are urging citizens not to ignore airstrikes and to immediately seek the nearest bomb shelters.
