A man who survived a drone strike on August 4 in Kherson said this wasn't the first time something like this had happened to him.
This was reported by local authorities.
Mr. Yuriy said that he and his wife had come to the market and had just started setting out their goods when a drone hovered above them. His wife managed to run away. The drone circled around the car for about a minute, chasing after him.
We could hear it buzzing, but we couldn’t even see it. It flew out from somewhere in those bushes and was flying so low. My wife started running away, and it began circling over the car. I pointed at the vegetables, saying, “Look—vegetables.” But it started flying toward me. It hit the car—I was right next to it. Then I saw that the back was completely torn up—the back, the head
Mr. Yuriy
The man also said that this was the second time he’d been attacked by drones while driving this car.
This is the second time. The first time, I was driving to my mother-in-law’s. We managed to get away; we took a detour there, and that’s how we’re driving now
Mr. Yuriy
The car is now severely damaged.
Doctors reported that the injured man has multiple shrapnel wounds to his torso, both arms, and legs, as well as barotrauma and a concussion. None of the wounds are life-threatening, and the man’s life is not in danger.
As a reminder, on the morning of August 4, a Russian drone attacked a man in the middle of a market in Kherson. A video of the manhunt caused a stir on social media. Russian terrorists claimed responsibility for the attack on a civilian in Kherson, calling the minibus carrying vegetables “dual-use equipment.”
