Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claims Russia is targeting civilians, sharing a video of a vendor running away from an unmanned aerial vehicle. The drone detonated near the civilian, who was thrown off by the blast. Just a day ago, it was Russia that claimed that Ukraine is targeting civilians following a drone crash at a Black Sea beach.

'Today, many were shocked by yet another video of the drone "safari" Russians are carrying out against civilians in Kherson,' Zelenskyy said on his official X (formerly Twitter) account.

The Russians even admitted to the crime, showing zero regret and openly boasting about tormenting people.'
