At the initiative of Kherson volunteer Olha Chernyshova, a guide on how to protect yourself from drones was developed in Kherson. After all, the occupiers attack civilians in Kherson region with drones every day.

According to the Kherson Regional Military Administration, to inform the population and protect lives, the Training and Methodological Center for Civil Defense and Life Safety of Kherson Region has developed instructions on how to behave in the event of a UAV attack.

"It was created at the initiative of Kherson volunteer Olha Chernyshova, and our partners from Dovidka.info helped with the design and printing," the CMA said.

According to the administration, these posters have already been handed over to the Kherson MVA and, on behalf of the Kherson Regional Center for Civil Defense, they are to be distributed in public places and bomb shelters in Kherson. They will also be handed over to the communities of the region that are constantly suffering from Russian drones.

HOVA hopes that these simple recommendations of the Kherson volunteer can save many lives. Only this morning, on September 29, four residents of Kherson region were injured by an enemy drone. A 36-year-old resident of Kherson suffered explosive and craniocerebral trauma, concussion, and shrapnel wounds to his arm and leg. A 61-year-old woman from Kherson who was injured by a Russian drone attack also turned to the hospital. At about ten in the morning, the occupiers dropped explosives from a UAV in the Dniprovsky district. The woman was diagnosed with mine-blast trauma, shrapnel wounds to her face, torso and legs. A 56-year-old man was hospitalized with shrapnel wounds to his forearm, leg and abdomen. In Shyroka Balka, a 45-year-old local resident was injured. He sustained explosive trauma, shrapnel wounds to his shoulder and back. The victim is under medical supervision.
