U.N. investigators documented hundreds of instances of Russian drone pilots targeting civilians in Kherson, concluding the attacks amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity. Over more than a year, small drones dropped grenades on people, ambulances and fire crews, often hovering over fires to strike responders, the report finds, describing a coordinated policy to terrorize and drive residents out. Russia denies targeting civilians and declined to cooperate. Live-streaming footage and unit posts online underscore intent. Kherson has strung net canopies as buzzing drones keep residents on edge.
