At least one dead and more than 20 injured in a Russian attack against a residential area of Zaporiyia
At least one person has died and 24 others have been injured in the city of Zaporiyia, in southeastern Ukraine, after the launch of four Russian missiles this morning against a residential area of this city, relatively close to the front.
The governor of the Zaporiyya region, Ivan Fedorov, published images of the consequences of the attack in which several destroyed apartments and damaged buildings are seen.
In addition, Russia is still advancing on the Pokrovsk front, in Donetsk, where in recent hours it has launched more than 60 attacks.
“The enemy attacks the city again. At least four explosions were heard in Zaporiyia,” Fedórov said shortly after the attack on Ukrainian television, who explained early in the morning that medical services were attending to the injured at the scene of the impacts.
Zaporiyia had more than 700,000 inhabitants before the war and is located in the homonymous region of southeastern Ukraine partially occupied by Russia.
The city has been regularly attacked by Russian forces since the beginning of the war.
At the front, Russian forces continue to concentrate their greatest efforts to achieve progress on the front axis of Pokrovsk, one of the most important cities still in Ukrainian hands in the eastern region of Donetsk.
According to the General Staff of Kiev, Ukrainian forces repelled more than 60 Russian attacks during the past day in that area rich in mineral resources.
A total of 115 fighting took place along the line of contact, according to the Ukrainian military report.
The Ukrainian war analysis platform DeepState has reported Russian progress in several areas of Donetsk.
The offensive is particularly intense in the south and southwest of the city of Pokrovsk, where Russian troops continue to approach the town.
The Ukrainian General Staff has assured that Russian forces lost 1,340 soldiers on Wednesday throughout the front line.
In addition, the Ukrainian Army claims to have destroyed 12 armored vehicles and 62 enemy artillery systems.

Rubio rules out 2028 presidential bid if Vance runs
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he would not seek the presidency in 2028 if current Vice President JD Vancedecides to run as the Republican nominee to succeed President Donald Trump.
“If JD Vance runs for president, he will be our candidate, and I will be one of the first people to support him,” Rubio said in an interview with Vanity Fair, in which he appeared alongside other senior members of the presidential cabinet.
Rubio, 54, and Vance, 41, are widely viewed as two of the leading Republican figures who could headline the party’s ticket in the 2028 election. Under the U.S. Constitution, Trump is barred from seeking another term after completing two presidential mandates.
In a lighthearted moment during the interview, Vance jokingly offered photographers $1,000 if they managed to make him look better than Rubio in the photos. Both leaders have received public backing from Trump, who last October floated the idea of a joint ticket featuring Rubio and Vance, without clarifying who would lead it.
“I think that if they ever teamed up, they would be unstoppable. I don’t think anyone would run against us,” Trump said at the time.
White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, who also took part in the interview, confirmed that Trump does not intend to violate the 22nd Amendment, which prohibits a third presidential term, though she acknowledged that the president is “having fun” with speculation about a possible return to office.
Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants, served as a Republican senator from 2010 to 2025. He sought the party’s presidential nomination in 2016 but was defeated by Trump after a bruising primary contest. His name was floated as a potential vice presidential pick in 2024, but Vance ultimately secured the spot. After taking office, Trump appointed Rubio as secretary of state, making him the first Latino to hold the position.

The Providence Police Department in Rhode Island released three photos of the person of interest, whose face has been blurred. In the images, the individual is wearing navy blue clothing, what appears to be a green hood, and carrying a light-colored backpack.
Earlier, authorities had released several photos and videos of a suspect described as “approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall, with a stocky build,” dressed in dark clothing, with their face covered by a surgical mask and wearing a beanie. The suspect’s identity remains unknown.
Authorities are offering a $50,000 reward for any information leading to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the person responsible for the killings, who is considered armed and dangerous.
The gunman opened fire on Saturday at Brown University’s engineering and physics building, where exams were being held, killing students Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov. The names of the nine people injured have not been released.
