Behind each dot on the map we made at Tochnyi is a story of a person's life ended or forever changed. The map does not just show drone casualties, but all casualties. We will continue to bring these stories out from behind the data because each victim of Russian terror matters.

Kherson Weekly: Summer Update In this edition: a streamlined overview of May-August via important geolocations, civilian casualty data, and damaged vehicle/infrastructure data. Much has changed since the last edition of Kherson Weekly. #HumanSafari open.substack.com/pub/brendank...

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.

Huge thanks to Preston for bringing awareness to war crimes in Kherson Oblast. Please watch the full discussion below. We discuss Russian units involved, the Human Safari terror tactics, and the rhetoric used by the criminals themselves posted alongside their crimes. youtu.be/Q8yDCl3ic0A?...

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

Hello Kherson Weekly readers, I’ve been MIA the last month as we’ve seen an increase in the number of markers on the map each week since March. An average day used to be 220-250 markers; a bad day 280-300. Since then, it climbed steadily from 300 per day to now over 725 markers in one day on 6 May

Location: Mykhailivka (Михайловка), Russian-occupied Crimea, Ukraine at 45.11014, 33.62417 www.google.com/maps/place/4... #geoconfirmed-uaru Damage to a building by a drone, reportedly used by deputy Chechen representative in the Zaporozhzhia & Kherson oblasts, Murad Saidov. 600m from Saki airfield.

News Update covering the aftermath of the Palm Sunday strike on Sumy through to the end of the Easter “Ceasefire.” I’ll try to be more regular with updates as mapping allows. We’re averaging over 500 news markers daily as of late. Check it out on Andrew’s YouTube channel: youtu.be/56FOEVLcXdc?...

Hey everybody, Couldn’t publish a Kherson Weekly last week because of two reasons: 1. I did a full audit of my Human Safari database. Added Beryslav Raion and went all the way back to Jan. 2024. From Jan 2024-Mar 2025, I’ve identified 3024 casualties in Kherson Oblast.

Did a little walkthrough on Andrew’s YouTube of my daily news mapping that I do everyday for @UkraineDailyUpd. 95% of the news on the map never makes it to Western audiences so visit the map or check it out ⬇️ youtu.be/zGX3ZqJWTvw?...

We saw earlier last week how Russian forces release archival footage of their strikes upon people repairing their homes from shelling damage. I was digging into early 2024 & found this drone/artillery attack on these window glass technicians posted on 5 May 2024. #HumanSafari

From Kherson Police: Police evacuated a 64 y/o man from Beryslav, who was wounded by a drone months ago. He was treated then, but treated himself at home since. I think the wounds became septic b/c the man sadly died the next day after evac to the hospital. Full vid in source.
