Shelling of the Mykolaiv region
Russian occupiers have repeatedly shelled Mykolaiv, resulting in the deaths and injuries of innocent civilians in the city. Additionally, the enemy has resorted to damaging the local infrastructure.
For example, during the night of October 1, terrorists launched kamikaze drones in the region, causing damage to a storage facility of an agricultural enterprise and a fence.
On July 20, during another round of shelling, there was a confirmed fatality. Rescue teams retrieved the body of the deceased from the debris in the city center.
