Multiple reports describe Russian attacks on civilians in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia, where residents say strikes are intended to spread fear. In the southeastern city, entrepreneur Kateryna Lahuta says two Russian bombs hit her seafood business in July, destroying what she described as her remaining sense of safety. The reports say these attacks occur amid ongoing fighting, with Russian forces positioned just south of Zaporizhzhia, a manufacturing city of about 700,000 people. According to the accounts, the term “safari” is used to describe patterns of shelling and bombing that allegedly target people in ways that cause panic and uncertainty. Both outlets frame the strikes through the impact on civilians and local businesses rather than military objectives, emphasizing damage to property and the psychological effects on residents. While the reporting focuses on civilian harm and fear, it does not provide additional verified details on specific operational claims behind the “safari” label. The common thread across sources is that attacks continue to affect daily life in Zaporizhzhia and that residents describe them as deliberate efforts to intimidate.
