    One person was killed and at least nine others injured by Russian strikes on the south-eastern city of Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, on Tuesday. Regional military administration head Ivan Fedorov posted pictures on X showing firefighters tackling blazes in private homes and other buildings. Public broadcaster Suspilne reported at least 10 strikes on the city. Moscow has denied targeting civilians in the war, according to The Guardian. Russia’s defence ministry said on Monday its forces had seized the village of Olhivske in Zaporizhzhia region. Vladimir Rogov, a senior Moscow-appointed official in Russian-held parts of the region, told Russia’s RIA news agency that Moscow’s troops had burst through Ukrainian defences and captured about 30 sq km (11.5 sq miles) of ground. The advance comes as Russian forces continue their westward push in the Donetsk region, with the logistics hub of Pokrovsk a key target. Ukraine’s military quoted commander Andriy Kryshchenko as saying its troops had halted a Russian advance near Pokrovsk, while the DeepState military blog reported Ukrainian successes against Russian forces near the town of Dobropillia, north of the city.
