Drone terror in Kherson to persist until front line shifts – governor

“This is a battle of technologies, a fight for survival. We constantly adapt to the Russians, and they adapt to us… It’s a war, some kind of Star Wars— I don’t even know what to call it,” he said.

Prokudin noted that Russian forces are now using fiber-optic-guided drones to attack Kherson. According to him, efforts are underway in the oblast to create a “dome” to protect residents.

“But there won’t be full security— we all need to understand that. Frequencies will change, technologies will change, and until we push the front line at least 20 kilometers from Kherson, this terror will continue,” he said.

Prokudin stressed that Russian occupiers “boast about terrorizing the oblast’s civilian population.”

On Feb. 2, Russian forces attacked a minibus in Kherson with a drone, injuring five people, including two children— a 12-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl.

On Feb. 5, a Russian drone strike in Antonivka, a suburb of Kherson, injured seven people in the morning, including three police officers.
