Late in the evening of February 7, Russian occupying forces once again attacked the civilian population of Kherson, according to the Kherson military center on social media.
The Koralebny district of Kherson came under a heavy attack from multiple rocket launcher systems (MLRS).
The explosions occurred around midnight, when most residents were already at home.
"At approximately 11:10 PM Kyiv time, Russian forces hit the Koralebny district of Kherson with MLRS," the official report stated.
As a result of the attack, three women sustained injuries of varying severity:
-
Two residents of Kherson, aged 86 and 44, were hospitalized in moderate condition. They were diagnosed with blast and closed head injuries, as well as barotrauma (concussions) caused by the powerful explosions.
-
A 76-year-old woman received medical assistance on-site and refused hospitalization.
Attacks on Kherson’s residential areas from the left bank of the Dnipro River remain a daily threat.
Emergency services are currently working at the sites of the strikes, documenting yet another war crime by Russia against peaceful Ukrainian civilians.
Local authorities urge residents to exercise maximum caution and follow safety rules during nighttime attacks.
