Russians intensify shelling of Zaporizhzhia region with artillery, MLRS

Yuriy Malashko, the head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military District Administration, reported this on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.

"Collaborators and their families are leaving the occupied territories and calling on people who have received Russian passports to do the same. The occupiers are evacuating civilians, taking them to Russia through Crimea or the Donetsk region," the statement said.

According to Malashko, at the same time, the invaders increased the number of attacks on the Zaporizhzhia region with artillery and MLRS.

The head of the Regional Military Administration also noted that the Russian invaders canceled some events until May 9 and extended the curfew, introducing bans on mass gatherings.

As Ukrinform previously reported, the invaders are preparing provocations in the temporarily occupied territory of the Zaporizhzhia region under the guise of "evacuation."
