Russian Drone Attacks Terrorize Civilians in Kherson, Ukraine

Russian drone operators in Kherson, Ukraine, are systematically attacking civilians, with over 2,000 drone strikes occurring weekly. A 66-year-old woman lost a leg while feeding her goats, and residents face daily terror from artillery, bombs, and drones. The Ukrainian military reports strong indications that Russian forces send drone operators to the region to train on civilian targets before deployment to front lines. Hospitals are overwhelmed with wounded civilians, including children, while Russian social media accounts celebrate attacks on elderly cyclists and shoppers with action music. A UN investigation has already concluded Russia is committing crimes against humanity in Kherson, but the attacks continue unabated. Local authorities have urged civilians to leave, as a recent bombing of the heating plant means the coming winter will be harsh without guaranteed electricity or heat.
