Russian Drones and Traffic Restrictions: Emergency Situation on Kherson-Mykolaiv Highway
The security situation in southern Ukraine continues to escalate amid frequent aviation and drone attacks by Russian forces.
Particular attention is drawn to the area around the M-14 highway connecting Kherson with Mykolaiv.
Since the evening of August 25, this section has become an active zone for Russian drone activity, causing serious concern among local authorities and residents.
Kherson regional military administrator Oleksandr Prokudin urged citizens to avoid traveling this route, as Russian forces are deliberately targeting civilian transport.
He warned that movement on the road might be temporarily halted to ensure safety, as authorities coordinate with military units to minimize risks.
There is a possibility of introducing temporary closures or restrictions if drone activity is detected.
The regional leadership emphasized that efforts are ongoing to stabilize the situation and prevent larger-scale consequences.
The ongoing conflict persists: on August 24, Russian troops carried out an airstrike on the suburbs of Kherson with guided bombs, resulting in destruction and panic among local residents.
