A video released by Ukrainian police shows a Russian drone pursuing and wounding a vegetable seller at an outdoor market in Kherson, prompting accusations of war crimes. The footage depicts a 53-year-old man attempting to evade the unmanned aerial vehicle before it explodes as he dives for cover behind a van used as a street stand. He sustained shrapnel injuries and shock.
The Ukrainian National Police released the video on Tuesday, identifying the victim only as a man in his 50s. Ukraine has characterized the incident as a “drone safari” and alleges it constitutes a war crime. The accusation centers on the intent to terrorize civilians rather than target military objectives.
The Washington Examiner reports that the drone was actively hunting and attempting to kill the civilian at the market. The South China Morning Post details that the man, a vegetable seller, was chased down by the drone before it detonated near him.
