Russian Drone Strikes on Kherson Injure 4, Including Child

Two Russian drone attacks struck separate districts of Kherson on Aug. 26, injuring three adults and a 10-year-old boy. The child was hospitalized in moderate condition after a drone struck a car in the Korabelnyi district.

Two Russian drone attacks on Kherson injured four people, including a 10-year-old boy, on the evening of Aug. 26, the Kherson Oblast Military Administration reported.

Russian forces targeted the city’s Dniprovskyi district at around 6:30 p.m., wounding three civilians.

“Three people sustained blast injuries as a result of the enemy attack: a 19-year-old woman and two men aged 34 and 33,” the regional administration said. Authorities did not provide immediate updates on their conditions.

Later, at approximately 8:10 p.m., another Russian drone struck a car in the city’s Korabelnyi district.

A 10-year-old boy suffered a blast injury and cuts to his head and back. He was hospitalized in moderate condition, according to local officials.

Kherson and other settlements on the Kyiv-controlled west bank of the Dnipro River are subjected to near-daily Russian attacks from the Russian-occupied east bank.
