KYIV, ‌Dec 17 (Reuters) - Russian glide ‍bomb ‌attacks in Ukraine's southern Zaporizhzhia ⁠region wounded ‌26 people including a child on Wednesday, according to ⁠the regional governor.

"The Russians launched guided ​aerial bombs, destroying residential ‌buildings and damaging ⁠infrastructure and an educational institution," governor Ivan Fedorov ​wrote on Telegram..

Three strikes hit the regional capital and its outskirts, he added.

Ukraine's ​state ‍emergencies service ​said work to clear the rubble was still ongoing.

The city of Zaporizhzhia, whose southern edge is less ⁠than 25 km from the frontline, has ​been bombed regularly by Russia since its 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
