In the early hours of January 29, Russian forces used drones to attack the Zaporizhzhia district, specifically targeting the town of Vilniansk.

These continued attacks on Zaporizhzhia and its outskirts highlight the escalating danger in a region where civilian populations face severe risks. The Zaporizhzhia region has been a focal point of hostilities since the early stages of the full-scale invasion. These events underscore the critical need to protect civilian infrastructure and ensure population safety, a challenge made more urgent by the ongoing conflict.

Local authorities are calling for increased international support regarding security measures and humanitarian aid for the affected areas.
