Russian planes dropped eight powerful glide bombs in a span of 90 minutes on residential districts of the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, killing one person and wounding dozens of others, regional chief Ivan Fedorov said on Monday.

The weapons are Soviet-era bombs retrofitted with guidance systems and can carry up to 3000 kg of explosives, leaving huge craters. Ukraine has no effective countermeasures against them.
