Surviving the Russian ‘human safari’ in Kherson

In late 2022, #Russian forces have settled just across the #DniproRiver

They don’t need expensive #missiles any more

They send waves of cheap, off-the-shelf commercial #drones to hunt civilians in the streets, in real-time. The locals have a name for it: the #human #safari ...
