In the Kupiansk direction, Russian forces killed a civilian and mined the site with an FPV-drone.

According to Ukrinform, the 77th Separate Airmobile Brigade Naddnipryanska of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces reported this on Telegram.

"On December 10, during routine monitoring of the area near the village of Novoplatonivka in the Kharkiv region, UAV operators of the 77th Separate Airmobile Naddniprianska Brigade recorded another war crime committed by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation," the report stated.

During aerial reconnaissance on a road near Novoplatonivka in the Kupiansk direction, the body of a man was discovered, who had been traveling by motorized transport before being killed. The Russians carried out a targeted FPV-drone strike against him.

It was recorded that near the strike site, the enemy additionally placed a second FPV-drone of the Zhdun type to strike anyone who approaches the deceased or travels along the same route.

The military emphasizes that there are no positions or objects of the Ukrainian Defense Forces in the area, indicating the deliberate and targeted use of weapons against civilians. The actions of Russian forces constitute another gross violation of international humanitarian law, including the Geneva Conventions, and demonstrate the intentional use of terrorist methods of warfare.

The 77th Separate Airmobile Naddniprianska Brigade continues to document all cases of illegal actions by the Russians for further recording and bringing the perpetrators to justice.

As Ukrinform reported, two civilians were killed in attacks by Russian drones in the border areas of the Sumy region.
