Volunteer Serhii Lyshenko said this on Espreso TV."In reality, the invading Russian army has been shelling Zaporizhzhia with multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) for a long time, so this is not new. A building in Zaporizhzhia that the Russians had previously shelled with MLRS has already been almost completely rebuilt. Recently, Russian troops also shelled the city with MLRS, specifically targeting areas closer to the city center. However, that attack was not as massive. It is important to note that the enemy has begun to use different kinds of weapons against the city and the surrounding areas," Lyshenko said.The volunteer emphasized that the Russian advance in the Kamianske area has been stopped. However, he noted that the enemy is constantly trying to carry out offensive operations along the entire front line in the Zaporizhzhia direction."All these attacks on Zaporizhzhia are connected to the increase in enemy activity in the Zaporizhzhia region, which we have been talking about for a while. The enemy is failing to break through the defenses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In the small section near Kamianske where they did manage to advance, the situation has now been stabilized, and their movement has been stopped. That is why they have nothing else to do but terrorize the city, which is their standard tactic of targeting the civilian population," he added.On the night of Tuesday, September 16, the Russian army attacked Ukraine with attack drones. The consequences of the shelling are being recorded in the Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Sumy regions. In Zaporizhzhia - one person was killed, and 13 others were injured, including a child.
