In Kherson, a Russian drone attacked a minibus: a woman was injured

On the morning of July 28, Russian forces attacked a commuter bus with a drone in the Dnipro district of Kherson. A 62-year-old woman who was near the site of the explosion was injured in the attack.

This was reported by Yaroslav Shanko, head of the Kherson City Military Administration.

According to him, the attack occurred around 6:10 a.m. As a result of the strike, the woman suffered blast trauma and a shrapnel wound to her left shoulder caused by broken glass. Medical personnel provided her with the necessary treatment on the spot.

The driver and passengers of the bus were not injured. However, the explosion shattered the vehicle’s windshield.

Shanko later reported that, due to technical issues, bus route No. 7 will not be operating today. The city military administration urged residents to take this into account when planning their trips around the city.

As a reminder, over the past 24 hours, three people were killed and ten others were injured as a result of Russian shelling and drone attacks in the Kherson region.

Earlier, Vadym Melnyk, director of the municipal enterprise “Khersonkomtransservice,” stated that the windows of public buses in Kherson would be covered with bulletproof film to reduce the risk of passengers being injured by shards of glass during Russian attacks.

At the same time, efforts continue in Kherson to find more effective ways to protect public transportation. In particular, officials are considering the possibility of installing electronic warfare (EW) systems on buses. Initially, these systems will be tested, after which a decision will be made regarding their widespread use.

In addition, there are plans to install tablets and monitors inside the buses to display information about air raid alerts and the flight paths of Russian drones. This should help drivers and passengers respond more quickly to threats.
