A man was killed in Ukraine's Kharkiv region after a Russian first-person-view (FPV) drone struck a civilian car in the Derhachi community, according to Ukrinform.
The Derhachi community, located in the Kharkiv region near the border with Russia, has been repeatedly targeted by drone and artillery strikes since the start of the full-scale invasion.
Details on the identity of the victim and the exact circumstances of the strike were not fully specified in the initial report.
Ongoing attacks in the border region
FPV drones, typically smaller and cheaper than larger military drones, have become an increasingly common weapon on both sides of the conflict, used for a range of strikes including against civilian vehicles and infrastructure in frontline and near-frontline areas.
Ukrainian authorities have continued to report civilian casualties from such strikes in border regions, including the Kharkiv area, as the wider war between Russia and Ukraine continues.
