Russian troops launched an attack on Zaporizhzhia late on the night of September 2, resulting in the deaths of two people and injuries to two others.
The assault struck the city around 11:00 pm taking the lives of an 8-year-old boy and a 38-year-old woman. A 12-year-old girl and a 43-year-old man suffered injuries, with the girl currently in intensive care.
Zaporizhzhia governor Ivan Fedorov said that the attack destroyed a building while the blast wave and shrapnel damaged nearby apartment buildings.
Over the past 24 hours, the enemy forces attacked 11 communities in Zaporizhzhia region 313 times using missiles, drones, multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS), and artillery.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
