On May 2, 2026, Russian drone attacks targeted civilian buses in Kherson, Ukraine, resulting in at least two fatalities and eight injuries. The first strike occurred at approximately 7:00 a.m. local time, killing a municipal worker and a woman, while injuring seven others. A second drone attack later that day injured a bus driver. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attacks, labeling them as deliberate assaults on civilians. This incident follows a similar attack on March 11, 2026, where ten people were injured in a previous strike on a civilian bus. Kherson, located on the front line, has been subjected to ongoing drone and artillery assaults since its liberation in late 2022. The attacks highlight the ongoing risks faced by civilians in conflict zones.
