Kherson’s red zones are frontline areas of the city and surrounding communities that are under constant Russian fire. These districts are regularly hit by artillery, mortars, drones, and airstrikes, making civilian life extremely dangerous. The most dangerous areas today are the riverside neighborhoods along the Dnipro River, particularly the Korabelnyi and Dniprovskyi districts, as well as parts of the Central district. Their proximity to the left bank, which remains under temporary Russian control, makes them frequent targets. Destroyed homes, burned streets, and shattered infrastructure are the daily reality for civilians who remain or are forced to return to these zones. Kherson continues to live — but in the red zones, that life comes with constant risk.
