**Russia’s “Human Safari”: A War Crime Against Civilians in Kherson**
In a shocking revelation, the United Nations has confirmed that Russian drone attacks on civilians in Kherson, Ukraine, are deliberate crimes against humanity. The Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine report, released on May 28, 2025, reveals that Russia’s military is intentionally targeting and killing civilians using drones.
**The Horrors of “Human Safari”**
For months, the people of Kherson have lived in terror as Russian drones swoop down from across the Dnipro River to hunt and kill civilians. The attacks have become increasingly frequent and brazen, with dozens of drones launched daily against the city’s residents. In March 2025 alone, a hundred drones a day attacked Kherson, injuring 472 civilians, including six children, and killing 51.
**A Deadly “Double Tap”**
Russian forces have perfected the deadly tactic known as the “double tap,” where they launch artillery strikes followed by drone attacks on the same target. This strategy has been used in Chechnya, Syria, and Ukraine to devastating effect. In April, a drone hit the hospital ER, damaging a hearse with the body of another victim.
**Life Under Siege**
Kherson is plunged into chaos as explosions rock the streets every five minutes. Shells often hit power infrastructure, leaving residents without electricity. The city’s once-bustling streets are now eerily empty, with broken billboards creaking against walls. Packs of wild dogs roam the streets, attacking pedestrians and bicyclists.
**Reporting from the Frontline**
Journalists face significant challenges in reporting from Kherson, as they must navigate a war-torn city to get their stories out. Working without bulletproof vests and helmets is a serious risk, but critically important coverage of this new reality is essential to exposing Russia’s crimes against humanity.
**The UN Just Confirmed: It’s a War Crime**
In light of the UN report, it’s clear that Russia’s “human safari” is a war crime against civilians in Kherson. The international community must hold Russia accountable for its actions and take concrete steps to protect innocent lives.
