Deadly Strike on Residential Area
A Russian glide bomb struck an apartment building in southern Ukraine on Friday, November 21, 2025, killing five civilians in one of the latest attacks targeting residential areas. The precision-guided weapon hit the multi-story residential block during morning hours when residents were most likely to be at home.
Attack Details and Aftermath
The devastating attack occurred in the Zaporizhzhia region, where rescue teams immediately responded to search for survivors in the rubble. Emergency workers worked tirelessly throughout the day to locate victims and secure the damaged structure. Photographic evidence from the scene shows extensive damage to the residential building, with entire sections collapsed from the impact.
Local authorities confirmed that five people lost their lives in the bombing, with several others injured and requiring medical treatment. The use of a glide bomb, which allows for greater accuracy from a distance, suggests Russia's continued refinement of its aerial bombardment tactics against Ukrainian civilian infrastructure.
Pattern of Civilian Targeting
This attack follows a consistent pattern of Russian forces targeting civilian areas throughout the ongoing conflict. The Zaporizhzhia region has been particularly vulnerable to such attacks due to its strategic location and ongoing fighting in the area. Friday's bombing represents one of many similar incidents that have claimed civilian lives since the invasion began.
International observers have repeatedly condemned Russia's targeting of residential buildings and civilian infrastructure. The United Nations and various human rights organizations have documented numerous cases where apartment blocks, schools, and hospitals have been struck by Russian missiles and bombs.
As rescue operations continue and families mourn their losses, the international community faces renewed calls to address the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Ukraine. The November 21st attack serves as another grim reminder of the conflict's devastating impact on ordinary citizens caught in the crossfire.
