Russian-appointed officials in the Kherson Region have reported a series of Ukrainian drone attacks over the past month that have left civilians injured and caused damage to infrastructure.

Coverage comparison
The reports, all from TASS, describe three distinct incidents. The first, dated July 31, says four civilians were injured in Ukrainian drone attacks on an improvised market in the city of Kakhovka. The local administration is quoted as saying that two drone attacks were staged on the main street of the Svetlovo district, where the market and a post office are located. A man sustained a light wound near the post office, and three people were hurt in an attack on the market. Four passenger cars and a mini-bus were damaged. The administration emphasized that there were no military personnel in the area, only people selling their products.
The second incident, reported on July 17, involves an attack on civilian vehicles stuck in traffic. The People's Front, a Russian movement, reported on its Telegram channel that Ukrainian troops attacked a column of cars with civilians from the air. The movement said at least one of its employees suffered a shrapnel wound and that there were fatalities. Vladimir Vasilenko, press secretary for the regional governor, told TASS that two civilians were killed and one was wounded when drones hit cars on the Novorossiya motor road near Chongar. He said four passenger cars were damaged on the R-280 federal motor road near the village of Chingar at 4:00 p.m. Moscow time.
The third incident, dated July 10, was summarized by Governor Vladimir Saldo, who reported that four civilians were injured over a 24-hour period. In the Nizhniye Serogozy settlement, a drone struck a passenger car, injuring a man born in 1998, who was taken to a hospital. In Gladkovka, a woman born in 1982 was injured in a drone attack and received on-site medical assistance. Two men were injured in drone strikes on residential buildings in the Radensk and Velikaya Kardashinka settlements. Saldo also reported damage to infrastructure and property in 18 settlements and stated that all 426 settlements in the region remained without power, with technicians working to restore it.

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
