The affected family lived in Kazatske, which has been under constant fire from the Russian army across the Dnipro River. The Russians targeted the couple with a drone. The woman died on the spot, and the wounded man had to be evacuated to the hospital in an armored vehicle. The police did not provide details about his condition.
Despite the challenging security situation, evacuations from dangerous areas in the Kherson region continue. If you need assistance with evacuation, please contact local police departments, dial 102, reach out to local authorities, or volunteer organizations.
Information about evacuation can also be obtained by calling the Kherson Regional State Administration hotline: 0800-33-09-51.
We remind you that Russian military forces in the Kherson region scatter traps on the roads to hinder the evacuation of civilians from the area.
Previously, officials in the Kherson region stated that the Russian army uses the area as a sort of training ground for drone pilots. The Russians drop explosives from drones, targeting cyclists, pedestrians, medics responding to calls, and those attempting to flee the danger.
Some of those responsible for such attacks have been identified by investigators.
