According to Ukrainian authorities, a Russian drone strike on a minibus in the city of Kherson on Wednesday resulted in at least four fatalities. In addition, five more individuals were injured. The attack has been classified as a targeted act and occurred in a region frequently subjected to military operations.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded to the incident, describing the attack as a brutal "safari" aimed at deliberately hunting people. This form of aggression, Zelenskyy stated, has long exceeded the limits of the imaginable. His remarks were shared via the messaging service Telegram.

The exact circumstances of the attack remain unclear; however, the incident is framed within the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, which repeatedly lead to heavy civilian casualties.
