A United Nations aid convoy was attacked by a drone in the Kherson region of southern Ukraine amid ongoing hostilities. The convoy was on a mission to distribute humanitarian supplies to civilians at the time of the incident. Initial reports indicate the attack resulted in casualties, but precise figures have not been disclosed.
The UN stated it is coordinating with Ukrainian authorities to investigate the incident and called on all parties to respect international humanitarian law, ensuring the safety of aid workers and civilians. This marks a rare attack on a UN convoy in the region over the past six months, raising concerns about the security of humanitarian operations in Ukraine.
Ukrainian officials have not yet issued an official comment on the attack, while Russia denied involvement, calling it a provocation. Analysts note that the situation in Kherson remains tense despite Ukraine's claim of controlling the city since late 2022.
