Family supplied with water by drone saved from flooded house

A family, which escaped flooding on the roof of the house after the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP) was blown up, was saved from the temporarily occupied left-bank territory of Kherson Oblast. A woman and two children were trapped on the roof of their flooded house in the country cottage cooperative Chaiki-2, which is located near the town of Oleshky and has been in the grey zone for a long time. The Ukrainian troops supplied them with water using a drone and then managed to save them, as reported by Hromadske media outlet.

At the moment, a mother with children is in the city of Kherson.

Earlier, the members of the 406th Brigade recorded a video from a drone showing people hiding on the roof of a flooded house. It can be seen in the video that the family noticed the drone, and a boy pleaded to save them. The soldiers informed the emergency workers about the family.
