Ukraine slams Russian drone 'safari' against civilians
Ukraine has expressed outrage over a video showing a man chased by a drone in Kherson city and denounced it as a deliberate "hunt" and "safari" targeting civilians.
Ukraine has condemned a video showing a man being pursued by a drone during a safari-style hunt targeting civilians in Kherson city. The footage, the authenticity of which has not been verified, depicts a man seeking shelter behind a vehicle as the drone detonates an explosive charge. The 52-year-old victim, Yuriy, sustained injuries but survived, according to Kherson City Military Administration head Yaroslav Shanko.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky denounced the incident as a deliberate war crime, urging international condemnation. Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets stated that the video reveals Russia's true tactic of pursuing and killing civilians. Russia retaliated with a drone strike near Moscow, killing five people and wounding ten others.
Ukraine and Russia each claim the other targets civilians, as the conflict entered its third year following Russia's 2022 invasion.
