Life under shelling in frontline Kherson

A stele marks the entrance to the frontline city of Kherson from the direction of the village of Chornobaivka along the Mykolaiv-Kherson highway in the Kherson region, Ukraine, on June 2, 2026. The city experiences daily strikes involving FPV drones and other unmanned aerial vehicles. Russian forces reportedly use FPV drones to track local residents and drop explosives. Police officers, medics, public transport, and urban infrastructure are among the targets. Anti-drone netting has been installed above roads to help protect against drone activity.
