Russian troops attacked Zaporizhzhia with guided aerial bombs on the morning of Saturday, 10 October, Ukrainska Pravda and Deutsche Welle reported [E3][E8]. Ukrainska Pravda said the bombs struck a residential five-story building, killing seven people and wounding ten [E3]; Reuters reported the same toll from regional authorities after an attack in the early hours of Saturday, with rescuers still searching rubble [E1][E2].
Espreso reported that five people were killed, including two children [E6]. The outlets disagree on the death toll.
A strike on one of the apartment buildings partially destroyed one of the entrances, with structures collapsing at the second-floor level, Ukrainska Pravda and Espreso reported [E4][E7]; Deutsche Welle, citing local authorities, said one of the munitions hit a five-story residential building and caused that collapse [E9].
Around five in the morning, Ukraine's Air Force reported launches of guided aerial bombs by Russian tactical aviation on a course toward Zaporizhzhia, Ukrainska Pravda reported [E5].
Since this paper's 9 October file on a glide bomb on passenger buses in Kramatorsk, the new fact is a guided-bomb strike on a five-story residential building in Zaporizhzhia.
The desk's reading. The overnight strike was aimed at occupied residential housing in Zaporizhzhia, not a military site. Guided bombs went in toward the city around five in the morning; a munition hit a five-story residential building and collapsed an entrance at the second floor. Ukrainska Pravda put seven dead and ten wounded; Espreso put five dead, including two children. The competing reading is that one munition in a salvo landed off a nearby military aimpoint, and that anyone home, including children, died because they were there.
The next test. Moscow's first statement on this strike by 12:00 UTC on 11 October. If that statement names a military object at the site, the miss reading stands. If it names none, the housing reading holds.
