On the morning of 18 October, the armed forces of the Russian Federation launched missile attacks on the suburbs of Zaporizhia, Kharkiv, and Dnipro. Suspilne Media reports.
According to the latest information, four people were killed in Zaporizhzhya, a 67-year-old woman suffered shrapnel wounds in Kharkiv, and the number of victims in Dnipro increased to four. In Zaporizhzhya, a building hit by a Russian missile is in danger of collapsing.
To continue clearing the rubble, a special crane now supports the folding structure, which is part of the roof. This is necessary to protect the rescuers and to continue the search operation, Suspilne reports, referring to Yulia Barysheva, a spokeswoman for the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in the Zaporizhzhya region.
Photographers Olena Tita and Kateryna Klochko filmed the area affected by the attack in the center of Zaporizhia. She says the weather is fine today and the city center is busy.
"I heard the explosions at around 1.30. Later I found out that the missile had hit a residential building and went to the area with a colleague. The house is in the city center, next to a church where all the windows were blown out. Two people were already known dead and rescue workers were looking for three others under the rubble. The fact that the structure of the building could collapse at any time complicated the search and rescue operation. Unfortunately, the people reported missing have been found dead. Five people were killed when the building was hit by an S-300 missile and five others were taken to hospital. A young couple was among the dead. "The report aimed to show the heroic work of the SES and the rescue workers who risked their lives to save people," said Kate Klochko.
"The most emotional part for me today is a very contrasting reality. It's a beautiful day, the sun is shining, and we're in the city center. There is a very busy street nearby with lots of people because there is a market in the area. The building is very nice, it has so many beautiful elements and decorations on it. The children have smiles on their faces and behind them are the ruins where people have been killed. It's such a contrast," says Olena.
A local historian, Roman Akbash told Olena that the house was not an architectural monument.
"It's a post-war building from the first half of the 1950s. It's the most remarkable building in the area and one of the works of the architects of the Kharkiv City Construction Project under the direction of the famous architect Georgy Wegman," the local historian explained.

Thanks to the photo, the artist not only records Russian crimes, but also tells the stories of Ukrainians — migrants, volunteers, soldiers, etc. Her pictures flew around the world, telling hundreds of people about the war in Ukraine and attracting them to help.
