Russian Drone Hits Street Vendor in Kherson, Zelensky Denounces ‘Safari’ Attack
Ukraine says 52-year-old vendor suffered concussion and shrapnel wounds after a small FPV drone shadowed him in a Kherson market.
- A Russian FPV drone pursued and detonated beside a 52-year-old vegetable seller in Kherson, leaving him with shrapnel wounds and a concussion.
- Ukrainian police and local officials stressed that the victim showed "no signs of being a combatant," describing him simply as a vegetable trader from Mykolaiv who came to sell produce.
- Gesturing to the drone with garlic and vegetables, the vendor said "Look, here are the vegetables" as it swooped down; he crashed into his vehicle before the strike.
- Ukraine's prosecutors opened a case investigating the attack as a suspected war crime, as Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets stated the "video shows Russia's real tactic: pursuing and killing innocent people."
- Officials describe the incident as part of a broader trend of FPV drones pursuing individual civilians in streets and markets near the southern front, with drone-related civilian casualties rising sharply this year.
