Kyiv, Ukraine CNN —In the city of Kherson, southern Ukraine, civilians have started to hope for heavy rain – the only weather conditions that prevent Russian drones from flying overhead, they say.
Today, the threat of occupation still looms just across the river, where Russian military positions are literally within sight.
Difficult to combatThe frequency of the attacks and the drones’ small size make them difficult for Ukrainian forces to thwart.
Russia has been repeatedly accused of targeting Ukrainian civilians by Kyiv, its Western allies, the International Criminal Court and the United Nations.
On Monday, an ambulance was hit in a Russian drone strike on an urban area of Kherson, injuring two paramedics.
