The Russian army has changed the tactics of using UAVs - since the morning they have been massively attacking the Dniprovsky district of Kherson.

According to Oleksandr Prokudin, head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration, the area of Dniprovsky Market, Myru and Kulyk streets is particularly dangerous.

"In just one hour, at least eleven people were injured there due to drone attacks. All of them are receiving the necessary medical care," the official said.

Later, the JFO reported that the number of victims of Russian drone attacks in Dniprovskyi district increased to twelve.

"A 36-year-old man has an explosive injury, shrapnel wounds to the head and chest," the administration said.

A short time later, they reported that at about 09:00, Russians attacked the Novokaira community of Mylivka with artillery . As a result of the shelling, a 61-year-old local resident who was in the house was fatally wounded.

It also became known that two Kherson residents who came under attack by a Russian UAV in the Dniprovsky district were hospitalized. A 60-year-old man and a 67-year-old woman suffered explosive injuries and shrapnel wounds. The Russian military also attacked a man with a drone in Bilozerka. A 69-year-old local resident sustained explosive trauma, contusion, and shrapnel wounds to his face and shoulder as a result of the UAV's explosive drop.

"We are taking all measures necessary to counteract the enemy UAVs and adjust to the enemy's new tactics," assured Prokudin.

Yesterday, the Russian military continued to terrorize the Kherson region. At least 26 settlements came under attack from drones, artillery and aircraft. In particular, Antonivka, Bilozerka, Beryslav, Kachkarivka, Zmiivka and Prydniprovske. The occupants were shelling critical infrastructure and residential areas. Four people were injured as a result of Russian aggression. Among them is a 15-year-old teenager.
