Details: DIU reported that, based on data obtained by its Active Operations Department, the military leadership of the Russian forces is demanding, in particular, that terror in Zaporizhzhia be intensified by striking any civilian sites in the oblast centre.

Russian forces' units have been promised increased supplies of attack kamikaze drones to carry out these criminal plans.

Quote: "The order to intensify terror against Ukrainians is further evidence of the angry dissatisfaction among the leaders of the aggressor state of Russia over its constantly growing losses and the lack of any results on the battlefield, including on the Zaporizhzhia front."

Background: Russian forces conducted five strikes on the city of Zaporizhzhia on the evening of 16 June, killing one person and injuring seven. An educational institution, a shopping centre and a residential building were damaged.
