A United Nations convoy delivering humanitarian assistance to the Ukrainian city of Kherson came under drone strike attacks twice during the day. The convoy carried essential supplies for the city's residents.
The attacks came amid continuing military operations in the region and their impact on safe corridors for humanitarian aid.
Unmanned aircraft targeted a UN convoy in Ukrainian Kherson with two separate strikes while it was transporting humanitarian aid, in one of the most dangerous attacks on humanitarian operations since the war began. The trucks were carrying essential supplies for residents suffering from acute shortages of resources, food and medicine.
The escalation of attacks on humanitarian convoys threatens the delivery of medical and food assistance to civilians in affected areas, which could exacerbate the humanitarian crisis. The expansion of targeting international organisations raises questions about the capacity of international mechanisms to protect civilian populations in conflict zones.
