The city of Zaporizhzhia in Ukraine’s south is finalizing construction of its third underground school, designed to accommodate 1,000 students in two shifts, according to Ivan Fedorov, head of the Zaporizhzhia Oblast Military Administration.

Due to Russian missile attacks, children in the frontline areas can’t study in ordinary schools. The construction of underground schools will help maintain educational services while ensuring the safety of students.

Fedorov shared a video showing the current state of construction, revealing that workers are in the final stages of setting up the educational spaces within the facility.
