A Russian glide bomb struck a residential neighborhood in the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia overnight, killing five people as Moscow’s forces continued to target civilian areas, officials said Friday.

Another 10 people, including a teenage girl, were injured in the attack, which came as details surfaced of a U.S. proposal aimed at ending the nearly four-year war. Ukrainian officials are reviewing the plan, and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he expects to speak with U.S. President Donald Trump in the coming days.

Ivan Fedorov, head of the Zaporizhzhia regional military administration, said the powerful munition damaged several high-rise apartment buildings — the third such strike on the area since the full-scale invasion began — and also devastated a nearby market.

Glide bombs, retrofitted Soviet-era weapons released by Russian aircraft flying at high altitude, have become one of the most destructive tools in Moscow’s campaign. Ukraine has struggled to counter them, and the weapons have inflicted severe damage across multiple front-line cities for months.

In a separate overnight assault, a Russian drone strike on the southern port city of Odesa hit a residential district, injuring five people, including a 16-year-old boy.

The latest attacks follow a deadly barrage of drones and missiles on the western city of Ternopil two days earlier, which killed 31 people — among them six children — and injured 94 others. Emergency services said 13 people remain missing after the strikes collapsed the upper floors of apartment buildings and sparked multiple fires.
