On May 22, in the city of Orikhiv in Zaporizhzhia region, Russian occupation forces carried out a new unprecedented attack, using a high-tech kamikaze drone — an FPV drone
As a result of the incident, a local resident was injured while she was walking near her house. Information about this event has been confirmed by official sources, including the Head of the Zaporizhzhia Military Administration, Ivan Fedorov. According to reports, the attack took place near her home when the 69-year-old woman was simply walking on the street. An enemy drone unexpectedly dropped an explosive device, causing injuries to the woman. The administration emphasized that the civilian was provided with all necessary medical assistance and is now under medical supervision. At the same time, this event once again highlights the growing use of such dangerous tactics by the occupiers, who employ modern technologies to inflict maximum harm on civilian populations. FPV drones are high-tech devices controlled remotely, capable of dropping explosive devices with high precision, targeting specific objectives. These drones have increasingly been used by Russian forces during combat operations in Ukraine, especially for attacking defensive positions, infrastructure, and now — civilians. The residents of Orikhiv are constantly subjected to trials. Despite messages from authorities and medical measures taken, the fear for the safety and lives of their families remains high. The authorities assure that all necessary measures to neutralize these devices and to protect civilians have already been implemented, and efforts to strengthen public safety are ongoing. This attack once again underscores the rapidly escalating conflict, with the use of small but highly technological means of damage that are difficult to detect and neutralize in advance. All residents of the region are urged to exercise maximum caution, follow official updates, and adhere to safety recommendations. The events in Orikhiv serve as another reminder of the complexity and danger of modern warfare, which is becoming increasingly technological and poses new challenges and threats to the civilian population of Ukraine.
