Rocket hits city of Zaporizhzhia on Friday morning

A rocket hit the city of Zaporizhzhia in southern Ukraine on Friday morning, according to Telegram posts from the head of the Zaporizhzhia regional military administration and the city’s acting mayor.
“The enemy has attacked Zaporizhzhia. Infrastructure in one of the city’s districts was destroyed,” Anatoliy Kurtev, Acting Mayor of Zaporizhzhia city, said in a post on Telegram.
Kurtev said rescue teams have responded to the site of the attack. Neither official said whether any casualties were reported.
Some context: Zaporizhzhia is a major hub in southern Ukraine, not far from the front line in a region partly occupied by Russian forces — which have sustained attacks against the city this week.
Earlier this month, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed into law measures to illegally annex four Ukrainian regions, including Zaporizhzhia.
