Two more people were killed in a separate attack in the Donetsk region. During the night, Russia launched a wave of drone attacks against the country, including the capital Kyiv.
On Thursday, Russia carried out five attacks on the city. In the attacks, in addition to a hospital, residential buildings were also damaged.
Several of the injured are children, and at least two people are seriously injured. One of the seriously injured is a healthcare worker, according to Governor Ivan Federov on social media.
Russia has a clear upper hand in the war. The invasion forces have directed increasingly more long-range attacks against Zaporizhzhia in recent weeks. The city is located along the Dnepr River, which divides southern Ukraine, and less than four miles from the nearest part of the front line.
Analysts following the war see it as likely that Russia wants to advance towards Zaporizhzhia in a forthcoming winter offensive.
The city is one of Ukraine's largest and was estimated to have around 700,000 inhabitants before Russia's large-scale invasion. It is located in the region of the same name, which Russia unilaterally declared it had annexed in the autumn of 2022, despite not controlling the region as a whole or its largest city.
