Ukrainian authorities said Russian forces hit a vehicle belonging to a UN humanitarian mission during an attack in the Kherson region of southern Ukraine.
According to information from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the incident occurred while teams from the organization were operating in areas affected by the fighting, as reported by the Militarnyi portal.
Images released after the attack show the vehicle with damage caused by Russian FPV drones. According to local authorities, there were no fatalities among the mission members, who managed to evacuate before the strikes.
The Kherson region has remained under frequent attacks since the beginning of the conflict in 2022. According to Zelensky, Russian forces continue to use artillery and drones against urban areas and civilian infrastructure along the Dnipro River.
“Kherson and the frontline areas of the region are regularly subjected to attacks by Russian FPV drones, which the occupiers actively use to target transport, civilian infrastructure and civilians,” Zelensky emphasized.
“Attacks on humanitarian missions and civilian personnel are further evidence of the danger faced by international organizations operating in areas under constant threat of Russian attacks,” the Ukrainian president added.
