A 52-year-old vegetable vendor in Kherson recounted an incident where a Russian drone followed his cart in the local market before detonating in his vicinity. Ukrainian officials characterized the attack, footage from National Police CCTV cameras documented the event, describing it as part of a broader pattern of “human safari” assaults targeting civilians. Yuriy, the vendor, stated that his day began routinely.
He and his wife traveled to set up their stall, positioning their cart within the farmers’ market. “We had just started laying out the vegetables. I had only placed the crates and started taking out the baskets.
My wife was also there,” the 52-year-old reported from the hospital ward. The drone sighting and subsequent attack occurred while he was conducting normal business activities. Ukrainian authorities have framed this incident as evidence of systematic aggression against the civilian population.
The documented nature of the attack, captured on surveillance footage, has led officials to characterize these actions as more extensive and organized assaults. The incident highlights continued dangers faced by civilians in Kherson. The vendor’s account provides a firsthand perspective of the threat, detailing the period leading up to the explosive event.
Officials are using such documented cases to underscore the persistent threat posed by aerial weaponry and targeted assaults against non-combatants in the region.
