On February 17, 2026, the Russian army carried out a series of targeted attacks on a civilian medical facility in the Dniprovsky district of Kherson. The enemy attacked the territory of one of the local hospitals three times using unmanned aerial vehicles.

This was reported by the Kherson MVA.

At about nine in the morning, a 46-year-old medical worker was injured as a result of the explosive drop - she sustained craniocerebral and mine-blast injuries. Later, during a lunchtime attack, a 64-year-old man sustained a leg injury and a mine-blast trauma. Both victims are currently being provided with the necessary assistance.

Such attacks are not accidental: the Russian military has been targeting public transportation, churches, food trucks and volunteers with drones. Drones are flying directly into the apartments of Kherson residents and hitting humanitarian headquarters. This terrorist tactic has already received an official assessment at the UN level.

An independent international commission has published a report titled 'They are hunting us', which qualifies massive drone attacks on civilians on the right bank of the Kherson region as crimes against humanity. International experts emphasize the systematic nature of these attacks, which are aimed at intimidating and killing civilians.

Also, in January, a Russian drone attacked a gas station in Kherson. The report says that today, January 4, in one of the city's districts, as a result of the dropping of an explosive object from an enemy UAV, a gas module and a car caught fire on the territory of a gas station.

It is noted that rescuers arrived at the scene and began extinguishing the fire. The work was complicated by the constant activity of enemy drones. The fire has been extinguished. Civilians were not injured.
