Drone-protected tunnel network supporting civilians and supplies in Kherson

Story

Footage shows an extensive network of drone-protected tunnels stretching more than 40 kilometres beneath Kherson, Ukraine, on Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2026, built to shield civilians and maintain supply lines under constant threat. Ukrainian officials say the underground routes are designed to reduce exposure to drone surveillance and strikes, allowing people and essential logistics to move more safely amid ongoing attacks. The tunnel system highlights how modern warfare logistics increasingly rely on adaptation and engineering, as Ukraine seeks to protect daily life and sustain operations despite persistent aerial threats.
