On January 8, 2025, Zaporozhye in Ukraine became another victim of Russian terrorism.
Air bombs hit civilians in the city, leaving behind dozens of wounded and 13 dead are known.
These horrific events once again highlight Russia's deliberate targeting of civilians as part of its intimidation policy.
Chronicle of the tragedy
At 15:17 an air raid alert was announced in the Zaporozhye region. According to Ukrainian authorities, the threat came from guided bombs and ballistic missiles. A few minutes later, two strong explosions rocked the city, killing civilians.
President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky said:
“The Russians attacked Zaporozhye with air bombs. A deliberate blow to the city.
At the moment, dozens of casualties are known. Everyone gets the help they need. Unfortunately, 13 deaths are known. My condolences to family and friends. Unfortunately, the number of victims may increase.
There is nothing more cruel than air bombs on a city, knowing that ordinary civilians will suffer.
There needs to be pressure on Russia for terror. We need to support the protection of lives in Ukraine.
Ending such a war with a reliable peace is possible only through force.“
Seven medical teams, police and rescuers quickly worked at the scene of the impact. A “Non-Harmony Point” was deployed to provide assistance to the victims. However, the number of victims may rise as many are in serious condition.
Reaction of Ukraine and the world community
Secretary of the Zaporozhye City Council Regina Kharchenko noted:
“Russian terror must be stopped! All victims need help.”
Ukraine once again appeals to the international community to increase pressure on the aggressor country. Requests for new sanctions and arms supplies are becoming louder.

Israel and Ukraine: a common struggle for peace
Israel, which has also repeatedly faced terrorist threats, understands the pain of the Ukrainian people. The tragedy in Zaporozhye should become another reminder of the importance of the unity of the Jewish and Ukrainian peoples in the fight against world evil.
“NAnovosti – Israeli News” emphasizes: Ukraine’s support in the struggle for peace and freedom is a contribution to global security.
Crimes of Russia: one cannot remain silent
Russia has shown its essence as a terrorist state. Its actions are aimed at the destruction of civilians, not military targets. The moment the air bombs arrived in Zaporozhye, recorded by cameras, demonstrates the cruelty and cynicism of this attack.
Ukrainian National Police provided video showing the horrific aftermath of the strikes. It is important that such crimes do not go unnoticed.
Conclusion: Why the world must act
Russia continues its crimes, ignoring international laws and humanitarian principles. Israel, Ukraine and other countries of the world are obliged to join forces to counter this evil.
NAnews – Israel News call for solidarity and support for Ukraine. Only through joint efforts can we stop the aggressor and achieve lasting peace.
