According to Главком: A Russian drone hit a public minibus in Kherson's Dnipro district on May 2, killing two people-a woman and a municipal worker-and wounding seven others, including four municipal employees. The injured, six men and one woman, suffered blast wounds of varying severity.

Strikes on Kharkiv

Separately, the city of Kharkiv came under drone attack overnight on May 2. The strikes hit three districts: Shevchenkivskyi, Kholodnohirskyi, and Saltivskyi. In Shevchenkivskyi, a drone struck a 12th-floor apartment, injuring three people. Among them are a 23-year-old man with shrapnel wounds, a 25-year-old man, and a 77-year-old woman, who both suffered acute stress reactions.

These attacks highlight the volatile and perilous conditions in regions facing ongoing assaults. The incidents underscore the urgent need for enhanced safety measures to protect civilians. As drone strikes become more frequent, local authorities and emergency services must strengthen their response readiness to safeguard residents and deliver critical medical aid in crises.

The recent drone attacks in Kherson are part of a troubling pattern, as evidenced by another incident where dozens were injured in the outskirts within a single day. These escalating strikes not only threaten civilian safety but also emphasize the critical need for improved protective measures and rapid medical response in the region.
