乌克兰总统泽连斯基公开了一段视频，显示52岁的蔬菜商贩尤里在靠近前线的赫尔松遭到俄罗斯无人机追踪和轰炸[1][2]。BBC已验证了该视频的真实性[1]。尤里在这次攻击中遭受弹片伤和脑震荡，但幸存下来[1][2]。泽连斯基谴责这是俄罗斯无人机操作员进行的"人类狩猎"式攻击，称"俄罗斯无人机蓄意猎杀一名卖蔬菜的人"[2]。
这起事件反映了赫尔松地区面临的严峻安全形势。根据纽约时报1月的报道，过去一年赫尔松约有200名平民被击杀，2000人受伤[2]。乌克兰外交部长西比哈指出，"数千起类似袭击从未公之于众"[2]。无人机威胁范围可延伸至前线两侧25公里[2]。俄罗斯军方一直反复否认故意针对平民[1]。5月份乌克兰士兵曾成功破译FPV无人机信号，一天可击落十架无人机[2]。
President Volodymyr Zelensky released video footage showing a 52-year-old vegetable vendor named Yuri being pursued and struck by a Russian drone in Kherson, a city located only miles from the front line [1]. The attack left Yuri with shrapnel wounds and a concussion, though he survived [1]. Zelensky condemned the incident as a "human safari" operation, stating that Russian drone operators were deliberately hunting civilians [2].
The attack on Yuri represents part of a broader pattern of drone strikes against civilians in the Kherson region. According to reporting from January, approximately 200 civilians have been killed and 2,000 wounded over the past year in similar incidents [2]. Ukraine's Foreign Minister noted that thousands of comparable attacks have never been made public [2]. The threat posed by drones extends up to 25 kilometers on both sides of the front line [2]. Meanwhile, Russian military officials have consistently denied deliberately targeting civilians [1].
