Ukraine’s air defense shot down three cruise missiles late on Wednesday, Zaporizhzhia City Council Secretary Anatoly Kurtev announced on Telegram.
A team from CNN in Zaporizhzhia heard what appeared to be an aircraft and a loud explosion around 11 pm on Wednesday (6) local time.
The pace of civilian evacuations from the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia picked up last week after the nearby nuclear power plant at Enerhodar was captured by Russian soldiers.
In a Facebook post last week, Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russian troops of committing a “terrorist attack” by intentionally shooting at the plant – potentially risking the lives of millions.
The city of Zaporizhzhia had been used as an escape route for civilians leaving Mariupol, until the nuclear plant was taken over by the Russians.
