Russian occupiers carried out a sudden and brutal attack on utility workers in Kherson, using a drone to launch an aerial assault
The incident occurred in the afternoon and resulted in injuries to two employees, who are currently receiving treatment at local medical facilities. According to official sources released on social media by the Kherson Regional Administration, in the late evening around 12:20 PM, hostilities resumed in the Korableny District of the city. Based on information obtained from regional authorities, Russian occupiers employed a unmanned aerial vehicle to attack workers from one of the city’s municipal enterprises. Eyewitnesses report that during the drone attack, a serious explosive injury was inflicted, injuring two men aged 32 and 43. The circumstances of the attack are still being clarified; however, it is known that emergency response services quickly arrived at the scene to provide immediate assistance to the victims. According to representatives of the Kherson Regional Military Administration, both injured persons are now hospitalized and receiving medical care. Medical personnel report that the victims sustained blast injuries; their condition is assessed as stable. However, ongoing treatment and examinations will continue to ensure full recovery. This attack is yet another stark reminder of the increasing aggressive actions by occupation forces in temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. In an environment where the enemy actively employs modern technology, particularly drones, civilian infrastructure and workers vital to the city’s functioning are systematically at risk. Local authorities and law enforcement have already initiated investigative measures to determine the circumstances of the attack and to hold those responsible accountable under the law. Residents are also urged to remain cautious and not to neglect safety measures amid intensified enemy provocations. This incident once again underscores the crucial role of civilians in the fight for Ukraine’s independence and territorial integrity — their contribution to the city’s essential services is vital, and the vulnerability of innocent people currently causes particular concern among everyone defending Ukraine.
