After enduring a Russian occupation, a manmade flood, and drone attacks that turned its streets into a human safari, the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson could soon be made completely unlivable. The extended range of Russian drones flown from across the Dnipro River has brought the main roads supplying Kherson — particularly the main highway connecting the city to Mykolaiv — under attack from the skies. Meanwhile on Aug. 2 and 3. 
Russian forces struck the road bridge to the Korabel neighborhood in the southwest of the city, seeking to destroy the only road connection between it and the mainland. Kherson, with pre-war population of 280,000, was the only new Ukrainian regional capital to be occupied in Russia’s full-scale invasion, falling to Russian forces in the first week of March. Ukrainian forces liberated it in November that year.
