Life under shelling in frontline Kherson
A woman carrying a bouquet of mock-orange blossoms walks past a mobile concrete shelter in the frontline city of Kherson, Ukraine, on June 2, 2026. The city experiences daily drone activity, with reports of FPV drones and other unmanned aerial vehicles being used. Local authorities have implemented anti-drone netting above roads to help protect against drone activity. Kherson is informally divided into "yellow" and "red" zones, with the "red" zone considered more dangerous due to frequent drone and shelling incidents. (Photo by Dmytro Smolienko/Ukrinform/NurPhoto)
