Eyewitness testimony and credible evidence suggest that Russia is using drones against civilians in the frontline city of Kherson.

"They can see who they are killing," says one Ukrainian residents. "Is this how they want to fight, by just bombing people walking in the streets?"

If Russia is found to be intentionally targeting civilians, it would be a war crime.

Evidence of apparent drone attacks on civilians can be seen in numerous videos shared on Ukrainian and Russian social media [for example, here.]

In each video, you see through the remote operator’s camera as they track the movements of a pedestrian or motorist in civilian clothing, often dropping grenades which sometimes appear to seriously injure or kill their target.
