Kherson civilians face daily Russian drone and artillery attacks

Civilians in the Kherson region of Ukraine continue to face daily attacks from Russian artillery, bombs, and drones. In the city of Kherson, residents report being targeted by intense drone activity, which local military leadership suggests may involve Russian operators practicing on civilian targets before engaging military forces.

Reports indicate that the frequency of attacks is increasing, with strikes occurring almost every hour. These incidents have resulted in severe injuries and deaths among non-combatants, including elderly residents and individuals performing routine tasks such as shopping or tending to livestock. Despite the city being liberated from Russian occupation in 2022, the proximity to the front lines leaves the population vulnerable to ongoing aerial and artillery warfare.
