Life update | Explosions at my city
3 years ago
Today at 5:10 in the morning my city was attacked. 4 rockets were launched, 3 of them reached their destination. One of the rockets flew to the shopping center that is close to my house - it's about one block away. One person died, 4 or more were injured.
Here is the links you can see photos of the destroyed structures

We woke up from the first explosion, then there was a second one.
The scary thing is that we are used to it. I know that when something like this happens or when sirens are going off you should go to the bomb shelter, but you can't live in the shelter - sirens go off so often in the past few days (like 8 times a day and can be 5 min long, 4 hours or even longer) so you can't run each time to the nearest shelter. The city would just collapse because of each worker would leave his work space it'll be impossible for city to function.
When i heard and felt the explosion i wanted to cry but i could not. I cried when war started, cried when my mom started to have her mental problems because of this stupid war, but never after. I just can't. I'm really tired of all of this shit. I cannot express how much i want to live a normal life and be not afraid to sleep, go outside or just live.
I hope that none of you will ever experienced something like this, but i think non of you will fully understand how scary this is if you have not lived through this.
My thoughts are always with people who lived through even tougher times then me in Bucha, Irpin, Mariupol, Chernihiv, Kharkiv and evry other city that have been bombed and destroyed by this horrible disease that we call russian occupants. And i grieve about every lost soul that has been killed.
I just want peace. That's all

FA+

I am trying to do something to help. I am working on a Journal to highlight the FA members from southern Ukraine, to complement the ones I did for the Donbas region and Kharkiv oblast:
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10225029/ -- Kharkiv/Kharkov region artists, furries, and stories on FurAffinity
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10203165/ -- Donbas/Donbass region artists, furries, and stories on FurAffinity
Do you want to be listed as being in Zaporizhzhia?
I know of 3 other FA members who have mentioned being from there but if you know FA members from Zaporizhzhia/Zaporozhye, please tell them to send me a Note if they want to be listed.
Sadly i don't know more artists from ZP, but actually if you can provide me links to this 3 people from my hometown i would apreciate it (of course if they want to) . Always wanted to find people from my town to chat or meet
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10230885/ -- Southern Ukraine region artists, furries, and stories on FurAffinity
I am open to suggestions, particularly if you can think of more ideas for the "How you can help" section. Please consider giving the Journal(s) a 'signal boost' (if you want).
So far there are 5 FA members from Zaporizhzhia listed and three other than yourself are still in the city. If you find others please tell them about the Journal.
Elsewhere in Ukraine, the Russian military acknowledged Wednesday that it had launched cruise missiles at targets in Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia. A statement by Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, the Russian defense ministry spokesperson, said the strikes on Zaporizhzhia had targeted production workshops of the Motor Sich plant, an aerospace facility.
Ukrainian officials previously reported strikes in Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk without giving extensive details on the facilities targeted. Officials in Zaporizhzhia subsequently posted video showing damage to a shopping mall.
