Russian forces launched over 2,500 drones at the Kherson region in a week

Last week, from September 28 to October 4, 2026, occupation forces launched 2,820 drones at the Kherson region.

Of these, Russian troops directed 324 UAVs at the Kherson community.

Ukrainian troops managed to shoot down or jam 2,700 drones, including 300 within the Kherson community.

Between September 21 and 27, Russian troops deployed 3,174 FPV drones against communities in the Kherson region.

Russian troops use drones to attack civilians in the Kherson region, striking buses, volunteers, churches, and trucks carrying food. Drones hit apartments and humanitarian aid centers.

Pavlo Drohal, spokesperson for the 30th Marine Corps of the Ukrainian Navy, emphasizes that the main problem is the sheer volume of UAVs launched by occupation forces. It is impossible to destroy every single drone, so some inevitably reach their targets.

The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine classifies the massive Russian drone attacks on civilians in the right-bank Kherson region as crimes against humanity.
