"Drones are targeting us": Zaporizhzhia residents living in fear

The Zaporizhzhia region in southeastern Ukraine was once a safe refuge for people arriving from other war-affected areas. But today the region itself has become a dangerous front line facing daily attacks.

In a single recent attack alone, 50 people were killed. Continuing drone attacks are forcing civilians from their homes.

Volodymyr, a civilian who fled the village of Priyoprashenka, says only eight people now remain in his village. He is currently sheltering in accommodation in the city of Zaporizhzhia.

"Drones are deliberately targeting us," the region's residents say in fear. Their experience is that there is no safety anywhere - not in markets, residential areas or bus stops.

According to humanitarian organisations, most of those living in areas near the front line are the elderly and the sick; unable to leave, they are trapped in danger.
