In Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia, Russia tries to sow panic with 'safari' strikes on civilians
Officials say Russia is using FPV drones and glide bombs to target civilians and infrastructure, with 12 city buses or tramcars damaged this year.
- On Aug 6, Zaporizhzhia residents faced escalating Russian air attacks as Moscow's forces increasingly deployed FPV drones and glide bombs targeting civilians and essential city infrastructure.
- Unable to advance ground troops past the southern corridor since the 2022 invasion, Russian forces shifted tactics; officials claim Moscow aims to sow public panic with unpredictable munitions.
- Kateryna Lahuta, a 41-year-old entrepreneur, lost her business to bomb strikes last month, as locals describe a 'safari' of drones 'hunting down' civilians—a tactic long suffered by residents of Kherson.
- Recent attacks killed one person and wounded 31 in residential areas. Officials installed drone netting on twelve buses and are testing shatterproof glass to protect commuters.
- Governor Ivan Fedorov noted Russia employs similar terror tactics in Kharkiv, where Mayor Ihor Terekhov reported 45 strikes last month. Officials warn less than 5% of FPV drones penetrate defenses.
