Ukrainian Prison Facility Struck in Overnight Attack; Casualties reported
Ukrainian officials have reported that an overnight Russian strike in the Zaporizhzhia region hit a correctional facility, resulting in fatalities and injuries among inmates. Regional leader Ivan Fedorov stated that eight high-explosive aerial glide bombs were used in the attack, wich also caused damage to nearby homes.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the strike on the prison grounds, calling it a “intentional strike” and accusing Russia of causing Ukrainian deaths when a ceasefire could have been established. Zaporizhzhia is one of the four eastern Ukrainian regions that Russia has claimed to annex as 2022, though it remains largely under ukrainian control.
Ukraine’s justice ministry confirmed that four bombs impacted the Bilenke penitentiary, destroying the dining hall, administrative headquarters, and quarantine area.All reported fatalities and injuries were inmates.Russian forces have frequently targeted Zaporizhzhia as the full-scale invasion began in 2022. ukraine’s human rights commissioner emphasized that attacking a prison constitutes a severe violation of humanitarian law, as individuals in detention retain their right to life and protection.
In separate developments, US President Donald Trump issued a strong statement on Monday, giving Moscow an ultimatum of “about 10 or 12 days” to agree to a ceasefire or face extensive sanctions. Speaking in Scotland, Trump indicated he would make a further proclamation soon, stating there was “no reason to wait” if the outcome was known. President Zelensky welcomed trump’s remarks, asserting that Russia was “wasting the world’s time.” Earlier in July, Trump had set a 50-day deadline for the Kremlin to reach a truce with Kyiv, warning of economic penalties, but this has not halted Russian strikes.
The Dnipropetrovsk region in eastern Ukraine also experienced casualties from a missile and drone attack late Monday. In the industrial city of Kamyanske, a strike resulted in two deaths and five injuries, according to regional head Serhiy lysak.
