POLICY WIRE — Kherson, Ukraine — The Kherson Regional Military Administration released a video depicting a drone flying in front of a man before detonating and causing injuries. The incident occurred on August 4, 2026.

The conflict in Ukraine has increasingly relied on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Ukrainian authorities have set an ambitious goal to produce seven million drones by 2026, equating to approximately 10,000 per day. In contrast, Russia is estimated to have the capacity to deploy 350 to 500 long-range attack drones daily, according to Ukrainian assessments.
