Terrifying footage shows a Russian drone hunting a street vendor in Ukraine – as Moscow intensifies its drone and missile attacks against the country.

The nerve-wracking video, which has sparked allegations of war crimes from Ukrainian officials, shows a vegetable vendor being chased around his van stand by the low-flying craft before it explodes just as he dives behind his vehicle.

The vendor, a man in his 50s, survived the blast but suffered shock and shrapnel injuries, officials said.

A Russian drone taunted and hunted a street vendor in Ukraine – before exploding and injuring he man.

His wife was nearby during the attack, according to local police.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha and Ukrainian police said the attack happened Tuesday in the southern region of Kherson — where a 1-year-old boy was executed by a Russian drone last year while playing in his grandmother’s yard.

Russia has used these types of explosive drones to terrorize the local population of Kherson during the war.

The frequency of the drone attacks in Kherson has led civilians to describe their home as a “human safari zone,” where they are hunted from the sky by the deadly Russian devices.
Sybiha accused Russia of committing war crimes.

“This barbaric Russian war crime in Kherson demands international condemnation and justice, but thousands of similar crimes never come to the public eye,” Sybiha said in a statement.

The minister blasted the drone pilot as a “sadist” and alleged he knew he was targeting a civilian.

Two children and an elderly woman were ‌also ⁠killed in overnight Russian guided bomb strikes on Ukraine’s northern city of Sumy, local officials said, as Russia has stepped up its drone and missile strikes in Ukrainian territory.

Both Russia and Ukraine deny targeting civilians in the war ​triggered by Russia’s all-out invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
