Life under shelling in frontline Kherson

A man stands at the entrance to a mobile concrete shelter installed at a public transport stop 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 the most dangerous due to frequent drone and shelling incidents.
