Kherson Blazes: Russian FPV Drone Attacks Ignite Residential Area

Two privately owned homes in different districts of the city caught fire after being hit. Another blaze affected a three-story apartment building, with fires reported in apartments on the fourth and ninth floors, while a separate hot spot was discovered on the third floor of that building.
