As Russian Forces Turn to Glide Bombs, Ukrainian Civilians Fear a New Threat From the Skies
Briefly

"There was no warning, no whistling sound of a missile or buzz of a drone that usually heralds a Russian attack. There was just an explosion, a resident said, and then a pile of smoldering rubble where a small shopping center once stood."
"Local officials say the device used in that attack on the southeastern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia last month was a Russian glide bomb - the first indication, they say, that Russia would begin targeting their city with the powerful weapon."
"Major cities farther from the border, like Zaporizhzhia, that were once seen as out of reach of the weapons are increasingly being struck, local officials, residents and military experts say."
"Many experts say they believe that Russia is now able to hit Zaporizhzhia because it somehow modified the bombs to extend their range."
