Here's the rewritten article:
Let's get straight to the point. On the night of May 1, Russia unleashed a barrage of drone attacks on Zaporizhzhia, causing chaos and destruction. According to local officials, one person was killed and 28 others injured, with two of them being children.
Zaporizhzhia Oblast Governor, Ivan Fedorov, confirmed that the city was struck at least ten times, causing multiple fires. The attack left a 61-year-old man dead and damaged numerous buildings, including residential properties, a university, and an infrastructure facility.
Footage of the aftermath showed devastated homes and a damaged residential building. Fedorov later reported that a local university and an infrastructure facility were severely damaged in the attack. Apartments, educational institutions, and infrastructure facilities were also damaged, according to Ukraine's State Emergency Service.
Situated near the front line, Zaporizhzhia, formerly home to around 710,000 residents before Russia's invasion in 2022, is no stranger to Russian attacks. This latest attack comes as Kyiv offered a 30-day pause on strikes against civilian areas. Although Moscow promised to consider the proposal, it hasn't stopped its relentless attacks on cities across Ukraine.
Zaporizhzhia was targetted by eleven Shahed-type explosive drones in this 14-minute assault, causing damage to 27 apartment buildings, over 10 single-family homes, and educational institutions and non-residential structures. A civilian locomotive repair plant, specializing in passenger electric trains, was also hit, disrupting operations and causing significant damage. Fires broke out across multiple districts, necessitating emergency responses.
This attack followed a series of strikes on the city and preceded Russia's announcement of a three-day ceasefire, which Ukrainian officials dismissed as symbolic amid ongoing attacks on civilian areas. Ukraine's Foreign Ministry condemned the strikes, emphasizing Russia's disregard for ceasefire proposals and calling for increased sanctions and military support. The attack is in line with the escalating Russian assaults on Zaporizhzhia, including earlier strikes that resulted in casualties.
