Story summary

On October 10, 2026, Russian attacks killed at least 15 people in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, including three children, and injured over 16 others. The strikes hit residential buildings and left debris blocking rescue efforts. This came just a day after US President Donald Trump announced a deal to import Russian diesel, which Kyiv warned would fund Moscow's war against Ukraine. Ukrainian officials condemned the timing of the attack, suggesting it was Russia’s response to eased sanctions on diesel exports. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has continued for over 4½ years with frequent aerial bombardments, leaving more than 60 civilians dead in just four days.
