Four people were killed in Russian attacks in southern Ukraine, authorities said on Wednesday, adding that a child was injured.

Airstrikes on a village in the Zaporizhzhya region destroyed one residential building and damaged another, according to Ukraine’s civil protection service.

The civil protection service said the strikes occurred on Tuesday evening, marking the fourth anniversary of the start of the war.

It said that Ukraine has been defending itself against a full-scale Russian invasion since February 24, 2022, with support from Western allies.
