In Kherson, tension is mounting again due to increased activity of enemy drones: on Saturday morning, Russian drones attacked local infrastructure, causing damage to several residents and utility workers
According to the Regional Military Administration, they are assessing the situation and will issue an official comment. According to the spokespersons of the Regional Military Administration, at nine in the morning a Russian FPV drone intentionally dropped ordnance on a garbage truck that was moving through the city center at that moment. This incident resulted in serious injuries to several people. It was reported that a 59-year-old resident of the city was injured, suffering a mine-explosive wound and was urgently hospitalized at the nearest hospital. Later, it was revealed that the attack also affected two utility workers. In total, three employees of the "Khersonkommunservis" municipal enterprise, aged 1972-1974, were hospitalized due to this attack. They sustained mine-explosive injuries and concussions of varying severity. According to medical staff, the condition of all three victims is currently stable, but they require ongoing treatment and rehabilitation. Additionally, on Saturday, a 57-year-old resident of the city sought medical help after being wounded by a Russian FPV drone in the Korabelnyi district. He was diagnosed with a mine-explosive injury, concussion, and a stroke. Medical professionals categorized his condition as moderate, and he is currently under observation in a medical facility. Another victim from the same district—53-year-old man—also sustained injuries during the enemy attack on Friday. He was wounded in the leg and suffered a mine-explosive trauma. His injuries are not life-threatening and can be treated on an outpatient basis without hospitalization. Another individual, a 57-year-old resident of Tomynova Balka, was hospitalized with a broken arm and a mine-explosive injury. This injury resulted from a recent Russian UAV attack, and the man is now receiving treatment at home. These events again highlight the high tension in the city and increase concerns regarding residents' safety. Local authorities urge residents to be cautious and to follow official updates. Meanwhile, security services continue working on detaining and neutralizing possible enemy drones, which are appearing with increasing frequency. Overall, over the past few months, shellings and drone attacks have become a routine part of life for Kherson residents, many of whom have long learned to live in conditions of uncertainty and risk. Official sources emphasize that the situation remains under control but encourage residents to remain vigilant, follow recommendations, and not to neglect safety measures. Currently, specialists are working on improving early warning and drone countermeasure systems to reduce casualties and minimize infrastructure damage. Authorities promise to continue doing everything possible to protect the population during this difficult period, believing that every resident can endure tough conditions and save the lives of their loved ones.
