The Kherson Regional Military Administration released a video showing a drone flying in front of a man, before detonating and injuring him. The army says the incident occurred on August 4, 2026. The war in Ukraine has become the first major conflict dominated by unmanned aerial vehicles. Kyiv has set itself the ambitious target of producing seven million drones by 2026, which is about 10,000 per day. Russia currently has the capacity to fire 350 to 500 long-range attack drones per day, according to Ukrainian estimates.
