Situation in the Zaporizhzhia region
Part of the Zaporizhia region has been under Russian occupation since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. In the meantime, the occupiers regularly launch attacks on territories controlled by Ukraine.
For example, recently, due to hostile shelling, a resident of Polohy district lost her life. Around the same time, the Russians struck residential buildings in Orikhiv, Preobrazhenka, Mala Tokmachka and surrounding villages.
