A series of Russian attacks across Ukraine late Friday resulted in multiple civilian deaths, including a family of three in the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia.

Zaporizhzhia regional governor Ivan Fedorov reported on social media that the city endured more than 10 strikes, tragically killing a 14-year-old girl and her parents. Twelve others were wounded, including an infant.

Rescue teams were seen sifting through debris at the scene, working amidst the sounds of a buzzsaw and carrying away at least one body.
