Russia trains sights on schools, offices and buses in busy Ukrainian city

Russia is intensifying attacks on the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, targeting civilian infrastructure including schools, offices, and buses. The security situation in the densely populated city, located near the front line, is deteriorating. Zaporizhzhia city council met in an underground shelter to address the escalating terror against civilians, municipal transport, and residential buildings. In response, authorities are planning to build more shelters, install anti-drone nets at vulnerable locations, and apply anti-shatter film to windows in public buildings. These attacks have worsened despite Ukrainian forces pushing Russian troops back, as the use of small FPV drones, now capable of reaching the city, is increasing.
