Small drones turn peaceful Kherson life into dangerous game
Russian troops across Dnipro river use small drones to target Kherson residents daily. Close proximity to enemy positions makes this Ukrainian city uniquely vulnerable to precise drone strikes
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
