The Russian army struck a UN humanitarian mission in the Kherson region. A truck was damaged, according to the head of the Kherson regional military administration, Oleksandr Prokudin.
"In the morning, in the Bilozerka community, Russian troops fired targeted shots from drones and artillery at United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA - ed.) trucks," Prokudin said.
According to him, Russia attacked 4 white vehicles with appropriate markings; there was no military equipment there. The vehicles were carrying aid to people.
One vehicle was burned down, and another was severely damaged. Two managed to escape the strikes. Preliminary reports indicate that no one was injured.
"Today, the second army of the world defeated several tons of humanitarian aid. Terrorists - there is nothing more to say here," Prokudin wrote.

Russians strike humanitarian missions
This is not the first time Russian troops have struck humanitarian missions in Ukraine.
In particular, in early September, a Russian missile strike on Chernihiv killed several people. Russia's attack was aimed at employees of a humanitarian demining mission.
In Mykolaiv, during the night on July 24, a Russian drone hit the base of the Norwegian humanitarian organization Norwegian People's Aid, which helps with demining in Ukraine.
And in June, Russians struck a humanitarian aid warehouse in Zaporizhzhia. The damage from the Russian attack is estimated at $3 million. A few days later, the Russians struck Siversk in the Donetsk region. Russians destroyed the city council building, where residents received humanitarian aid.
