A video from Kherson has drawn fresh attention to the danger civilians face in Ukraine after footage appeared to show a Russian drone following a vegetable vendor through a market before exploding near him. The images prompted a strong reaction from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who described the incident as a kind of "human safari."
According to the description of the footage, the vendor is tracked from above as he moves through the market area, with the drone staying on him before detonation. The reported incident has become another flashpoint in the debate over how drones are being used in areas where ordinary residents are still trying to work and move about daily life.
Zelenskyy said the video showed Russia had gone "mad," framing the attack as evidence of deliberate pursuit of civilians rather than a strike on a military target. His response underscored Ukraine's broader claim that public spaces and non-combatants remain at serious risk as the war continues.
The Kherson market drone video is likely to add to international scrutiny of alleged attacks on civilians and the growing role of drone warfare in the conflict. Even from the limited footage described, the incident has become a stark symbol of the fear and instability still facing people in frontline regions.
