(Reuters) -Russian forces staged a mass drone attack on the southeastern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia late on Tuesday, triggering fires, injuring at least seven people and badly damaging buildings and vehicles, the regional governor said.

Ivan Fedorov, posting on the Telegram messaging app, said the attack had destroyed shops, damaged other buildings and smashed cars. He said seven people had been injured, with three of them in hospital.

“A rescue operation is currently underway at 12 locations,” Fedorov said in a video posted online. “The maximum number of units from the State Emergency Services, national police and our medical teams has been deployed.”

Pictures posted online showed firefighters battling blazes at high-rise apartment buildings and gutted vehicles on city streets.
