Russian forces struck the Zaporizhzhia district with an FPV drone on the afternoon of November 15, targeting fishermen near the village of Bilenke. One person was killed and another injured, reports Ivan Fedorov, head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration.
"Russians cynically struck fishermen on the Dnipro River shore in Bilenke Pershe with an FPV drone. One person was killed, and another man was injured," Fedorov wrote.
Fedorov did not provide further details. Local sources report that Bilenke in the Zaporizhzhia district remains under constant FPV attacks, with several Russian drones striking the settlement daily and targeting only civilians and civilian infrastructure.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently assured that Ukraine is preparing special measures to protect the skies in frontline and border regions near Russia, where Russians carry out "safaris on civilians."
Last week, Zelenskyy said the Command of Unmanned Systems Forces had developed a program to defend frontline cities from Russian drones.
Russian forces continuously terrorize civilians with drones in Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kherson regions. Dozens of civilians have become victims of these attacks.
Russian forces are also reported to use "live targets" to train their drone operators. They focus exclusively on civilians, avoiding military targets, as hitting a military objective is far more difficult than striking a civilian with an FPV drone.
