It is not the first time Russia has struck this senior center, located 9 kilometers from Kherson. For example, the Russian army attacked this medical institution for the elderly in Stepanivka back in 2022.
On September 19, Russian troops attacked the senior center in Sumy with a guided aerial bomb. At the time of the attack, there were about 300 patients and staff in the facility. As a result of the Russian shelling, 1 person was killed and more than 10 were injured.
