Today a little boy was killed in Pravdyne, Kherson. According to our unit data (in cooperation with @kelley7622.tochnyi.info) it is highly likely that either the 80th Arctic Brigade, the 61st Naval Infantry Brigade, the Drone unit "Delta Team" or 337th VDV was responsible for this atrocity.

Given today’s Russian drone attack on a bus in Bilopillia, Sumy Oblast, I know drone strikes on busses are new to many western audiences. This has been a #HumanSafari tactic used in Kherson since at least August 2024. I know of 21 such attacks b/w August and January.

Just between July ‘24-Jan ‘25, Russian FPV, Mavics, Lancets, and Molniya drones killed 7 civilians and wounded 60 more in Sumy Oblast. The drone attacks have only increased—the last two weeks being some of the worst regarding drone attacks on civilians. #HumanSafari
