Russian attacks on Kherson
Russian attacks on Kherson continue unabated. Due to the city’s proximity to the front lines, Russians are shelling the city with artillery and attacking with FPV drones.
According to the Regional Military Administration, the Korabelnyi district of Kherson came under fire just today. A woman was killed in the Russian strikes, and another man was wounded.
On May 14, Russian forces attacked a 69-year-old woman with a drone in the Dniprovskyi district of the city. She was hospitalized.
Earlier, the Russians dropped explosives from a drone onto a minibus. Seven people were injured in the Russian attack. All of them suffered blast injuries, closed head injuries, and shrapnel wounds.
Even before that, the Russians struck a bus with a drone in the Dniprovskyi district of Kherson. About 20 people were injured in the Russian attack, including a child.
Due to constant Russian strikes and the threat of new attacks, public transit in Kherson has not been running for nearly a week.
