Earlier attack on a minibus
Earlier, on June 29, Russian forces struck a passenger minibus with a drone in Zaporizhzhia.
As of today, three fatalities and eight injuries have been reported. The passengers were diagnosed with shrapnel wounds, concussions, and abrasions. The victims range in age from 50 to 77.
Earlier, Ukraine's Defense Intelligence (HUR) warned that Russian forces had been ordered to increase drone strikes on civilian targets in Zaporizhzhia significantly.
The main reasons are Russia's heavy battlefield losses and its failure to achieve meaningful results on the front line.
