Russian drones terrorize Kherson civilians with “human safari”

Two years after liberation, Kherson faces a new threat: relentless drone attacks from Russian forces across the Dnipro River. Unlike conventional shelling, these strikes offer no warning, leaving civilians with no time to seek shelter.
