Fresh details of a threat
Ukraine's Defense Forces say Russian troops have received orders to carry out so-called "free hunting" for vehicles using drones, including fiber-optic-controlled ones.
To implement these plans, the Russian army built up the presence of drone operators in the region.
Russians are paying particular attention to vehicles that can be identified by their appearance as belonging to the Defense Forces.
Oleksandr Prokudin notes that the risk of strikes is also increasing near places where large numbers of vehicles gather, particularly near supermarkets, markets and gas stations.
The head of the regional administration urged residents to remain extremely vigilant in the coming weeks.
Notable that Russian forces had already been hunting civilians in the Kherson region. Days ago, a Russian military drone was seen circling over a market in Kherson, pursuing an ordinary man who was just selling vegetables.
According to military administration head Prokudin, the drone circled the vehicle for about a minute, hunting the man.
