Global Inaction Could Prove Costly, Warns Former Envoy As Iran Tensions Spiral Dangerously

Russia's war in Ukraine has entered a dangerous new phase as residents of the frontline city of Zaporizhzhia have reported a surge in drone and glide bomb attacks. According to a Reuters report, Ukrainians have adopted the term "Safari" to describe what they say are first-person-view (FPV) drones targeting civilians and vehicles in city streets. There is a growing threat facing Zaporizhzhia, where local officials claimed Russian forces have expanded the use of First Person View (FPV) drones while continuing frequent glide bomb strikes on residential areas. Russia has denied deliberately targeting civilians in the conflict, while Ukrainian officials accuse Moscow of intensifying aerial attacks to spread fear and pressure the civilian population.
