Video from Kherson in southern Ukraine appears to show a civilian being pursued by a Russian FPV kamikaze drone at a market on Tuesday morning. Reports describe the target as a food seller, with the footage allegedly capturing a sustained chase before the attack reached its most dangerous moment.
The incident has drawn attention because the civilian is said to have survived despite the drone pilot reportedly following him closely. The source account characterized the attack as a so-called "human safari," a term used to suggest a deliberate hunt of a non-combatant rather than a strike on a military position.
Kherson has remained vulnerable to repeated drone threats as the war continues, and video from the area has regularly highlighted the risks facing people trying to carry on with daily life. An attack at a public market would underline how exposed ordinary residents can be even while working or shopping.
While the full circumstances of this case were not immediately clear from the available footage, the reported survival of the Ukrainian civilian has become the central focus of the story. The episode adds to wider scrutiny of drone warfare in populated areas of south Ukraine.
