ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine \u2013 When \u2060two Russian bombs hit Kateryna Lahuta\u2019s seafood business in Ukraine\u2019s southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia last month, they shattered the last semblance of security for the 41-year-old entrepreneur.<\/p>\n
Since the first weeks of their 2022 invasion, Moscow\u2019s forces have been dug in just south of Zaporizhzhia, a key manufacturing city of around 700,000 people, hammering it with missiles and drones. But a new wave of attacks has made life deadlier for residents, part of Russia\u2019s escalating air war on Ukrainian cities as it makes only grinding progress on the front lines.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven half a year ago it was still scary, of course, and there \u200bwere strikes. But it wasn\u2019t like this,\u201d said Lahuta. \u201cNow it\u2019s just a \u2019safari\u2019.\u201d Ukrainians have adopted the term \u2019safari\u2019 to describe drones \u2019hunting down\u2019 civilians or vehicles in the street \u2014 something residents of Kherson, \u200ca smaller \u200csouthern city on the front line, have long suffered from. Reporters visiting Lahuta\u2019s business had to seek cover after hearing the buzzing sound of \u200ba first-person-view (FPV) drone \u2014 the small, agile helicopter drones loaded with explosives and piloted by video that have made Ukraine\u2019s front lines a \u201ckill zone.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine \u2013 When \u2060two Russian bombs hit Kateryna Lahuta\u2019s seafood business in Ukraine\u2019s southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":70082,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[9,8,33,2895],"class_list":["post-70081","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-japan","tag-drones","tag-japan","tag-nihon","tag-russia-ukraine-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70081","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70081"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70081\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70082"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
