The Russian army today, April 17, carried out an airstrike on the center of Kherson. Two fatalities have already been reported, according to the head of the Kherson City Military Administration, Roman Mrochko.
"Unfortunately, there are already two fatalities as a result of today’s airstrike by Russian terrorists on the Central District of Kherson," Mrochko said.
According to him, a 55-year-old man sustained injuries incompatible with life. His teenage son is in critical condition, and doctors are fighting to save the boy’s life.
Strikes on Kherson
The Russian army regularly targets Kherson with air bombs, drones, artillery, and other weapons. The enemy aims at civilian infrastructure, and civilians often become victims.
In particular, on April 17, the Russian forces attacked an ambulance – a drone from the enemy struck it. As a result, the paramedic and the driver were injured.
The paramedic sustained mine-explosive injuries and shrapnel wounds to the arm and leg.
It was also previously reported that during the 22 days of the energy ceasefire, Russia killed 72 Ukrainian civilians.
