Ukrainian vegetable seller targeted in ‘human safari’ drone attack

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has shared a video of a street vendor being hunted by a drone before it exploded.

The man in the video verified by the BBC, 52-year-old street vegetable seller Yuriy, managed to survive the attack, but sustained shrapnel wounds and a concussion.

Known by some in Ukraine as “human safari”, the deployment of remotely-operated drones against civilians has often been used by Russians to terrify residents of front line areas.

This particular drone attack happened in Kherson, which sits only a few miles from the front line.

Russia has repeatedly denied intentionally targeting civilians.

The BBC’s Paul Adams reports from Kyiv.
