It is not clear when the latest footage was filmed but it came to light earlier today, August 6. The footage shows one drone pursuing a man around a corner before it explodes near him.

Ukraine’s former deputy minister at the Ministry of Internal Affairs Anton Gerashchenko condemned the action in a post on X, writing: “A Russian FPV drone deliberately attacks a civilian person in the street. Russian human safari is spreading. Russia‘s war crimes are mounting up.” The shocking footage is another example of sickening “human safari” campaigns, carried out by Russia, which uses remotely operated drones to target civilians in an effort by Moscow to terrify residents living on the frontlines of the Ukrainian war. The previous video was filmed at a market in Kherson, southern Ukraine, which showed an FPV pilot pursue a fruit seller before exploding. Most read in The Sun The 52-year-old man is seen running around his van and trying to hide behind it as the drones circles him from above. The savage drone pilot then toys with the man and pursues him around the van a number of times before it then hones-in and drops suddenly, triggering a large blast. Fortunately, the man survived the attack, according to the Ukrainian authorities. He is expected to recover, having suffered blast injuries including shrapnel wounds and concussion. This summer has seen Russia and Ukraine trade strikes on each other, with Kyiv becoming focused on civilian infrastructure, such as large warehouses. On Wednesday, 17 Ukrainians were killed and dozens injured in a wave of Russian attacks that lasted around two hours, President Volodymyr Zelensky said as his country’s depleted air defences failed to stop any of Moscow’s incoming missiles overnight. Ukraine is currently suffering a shortage of interceptors for the US-made Patriot system, the country’s only air defence weapon able to shoot down ballistic missiles. Zelensky has pleaded with other countries, particularly the US to send more ammunition, which has been made scarcer due to the Iran war. If that is unsuccessful, Zelensky wants to make the ammunition in his country or gain permission from Elon Musk to use his Starlink satellite communications system to guide strikes on Russia that can hit missile launchers. Following an attack by Russia on Friday, Zelensky said that air defences shot down only one ballistic missile “solely because there are no missiles for the Patriots.” Supplies of defensive missiles has dropped in the first half of the year to one-third of the 2025 level, Zelensky said. He wrote on social media: “Ballistic interceptors are what could have saved the lives of those killed today. “It is very important for our partners to understand that delays in supplying them, or a reluctance to hand over anti-ballistic systems, lead directly to such horrific casualties and destruction.” It comes as fears are growing Russia could launch a “false flag” strike on the Baltics, using Ukrainian-made drones. Leaders in Poland and the three Baltic states are concerned Russia is considering an attack or sabotage against their countries in an attempt to shift the focus away from the Ukraine war and reduce support for Kyiv. Lithuania‘s defence minister Robertas Kaunas said on Thursday: “We are talking about a false flag operation, using a false Ukrainian drone. “One of the goals is for NATO to waver and decrease to Ukraine. I can assure this will not happen.” The Kremlin has denied the claim with spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying they were mere “scare stories” to justify an increase in militarisation against Russia.
