This was reported by the secretary of Zaporizhzhia City Council Andriy Kurtev.

"Disappointing news continues to come to us from the analysis of debris on the houses that were affected by yesterdayʼs attack. Currently, the number of dead has increased to fourteen. My deepest condolences to all those who lost their relatives and friends," he said.
