On February 21, in Kherson, Ukraine, Russian forces conducted a drone attack that specifically targeted a fixed-route minibus. The assault occurred at approximately 06:35, resulting in injuries to three individuals. The driver, a 71-year-old man, sustained serious injuries including blast trauma, barotrauma, and facial wounds after being struck by explosives dropped from the drone.

In addition to the driver, two passengers were also injured during the attack. A 62-year-old woman suffered from blast injuries and received treatment for a bruise and shrapnel wounds on her arm. Another passenger, a 42-year-old woman, was diagnosed with a concussion and mild traumatic brain injury, alongside other trauma resulting from the blast. Emergency medical services responded rapidly to the incident, transporting the wounded individuals to local hospitals for further care.

This attack highlights the continued risks and vulnerabilities faced by civilians in Kherson amidst ongoing conflict. With escalating drone attacks, the safety of public transport has been severely compromised. This incident follows a prior report from February 20, where another individual was injured in a separate incident in Kherson Oblast, underscoring the precarious situation for residents in the region as warfare continues unabated.
