Ukraine strike injures big cats in Zaporizhzhia

A Ukrainian Armed Forces strike reportedly hit a rehabilitation center for large predators in the Russian-occupied town of Vasylivka, Zaporizhzhia Oblast. The owner of the center, Pylyashenko, claims the attack was targeted and resulted in injuries to three ligresses—a hybrid of a lion and a tiger—and one tiger. The incident is being framed by pro-Russian channels as an example of alleged Ukrainian war crimes, though no independent verification of the strike's nature or the animals' condition is available.
