In south-eastern Ukraine Russian forces found a new way to hurt people — using small-sized drones to target civilians in Kherson (a city they lost about 2 years ago)
The attacks show a scary pattern: enemy troops stationed right across the Dnipro river launch compact drones that either crash-and-explode or drop stuff like grenades and hard-to-spot mines on city streets; this makes Khersonʼs situation very different from other front-line areas
The citys residents face a unique danger because Russian soldiers are so close — just a river away — while in other parts of Ukraine‚ the enemy needs long-range weapons to reach populated areas. The short distance lets them use tiny drones for precise hits against regular people (which is making daily life super-risky)
Most Ukrainian cities deal with missile threats but Kherson has it worse: the enemy can see and target any moving object with small flying machines. This close-range drone warfare means locals dont know when or where the next attack might come
