Quote: "The structures are made of reinforced concrete blocks and equipped with sealed metal doors, ventilation openings, lighting, and benches for sitting inside. Each shelter can accommodate up to 30 people at a time."

Details: The shelters are located near railway stops, as these are areas where large numbers of people gather, explained the Derhachi City Council.

"In a situation where the enemy is increasingly attacking civilian infrastructure and peaceful residents of the border area, such structures are vitally important," the statement said.

Background:

• In Zaporizhzhia, special modular shelters are to be built near apartment buildings.
• Earlier, it was reported that the first three mobile protective structures were installed in the Black Sea port as part of a programme to install 38 modular shelters by the AMPU State Company. Seven more are planned to be installed by the end of the year.
• Kherson authorities spent UAH 50 million (US$1,2 million) of their budget on the purchase of materials to cover roads with anti-drone nets, which are enough for 60 kilometres.
• Kherson Oblast will equip 264 kilometres of roads and critical facilities with anti-drone nets.
• The first special anti-drone tunnel was built in Zaporizhzhia Oblast to protect civilian and military transport from Russian FPV drone attacks. The anti-drone tunnel allows for safer movement of personnel and equipment and evacuation of the injured.
