Russian Federation's attacks on police in the Kherson region

Attacks involving drone-delivered grenades on police vehicles in the Kherson region have become an almost regular practice for the Russians. For example, in March, a police investigative team in the village of Antonivka in the Kherson region was targeted. The occupants attacked the police car by dropping a grenade from a drone. Four police officers were injured.

Additionally, in April in Kherson, in the Korabel district, a police vehicle came under drone attack. As a result of the incident, two police officers were injured, and the car sustained mechanical damage.
