In response to Kyiv’s claim of a Russian missile hitting a hotel in Zaporizhzhia, Russia’s defense ministry has stated that its forces targeted a location in the same region where “foreign mercenaries” were reportedly stationed.
The incident occurred in the city center of Zaporizhzhia, along the banks of the Dnipro River, leaving one person dead and 16 others injured.
The damaged building is identified as the Reikartz Hotel, as reported by local media.
The exchange of accusations comes amid the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, further escalating tensions between the two nations.
The situation remains fluid as investigations continue into the precise details and implications of the incident.
