Situation in the Zaporizhzhia region
Russian military forces regularly shell the Zaporizhzhia region. Earlier, Fedorov reported the construction of six underground schools in the region.
In August, a substation was disabled after a Russian drone fell. In June, the Russians used fragmentation bombs in an attack on the Zaporizhzhia region, completely destroying a building where civilians lived.
According to Dmitro Lykhovyi, spokesperson for the Tavria Operational Group of Troops, no assault actions by Russian forces have been recorded in the Zaporizhzhia direction over the past three days, which is atypical behavior for the invaders.
