In the settlement of Antonivka, part of the Kherson community, Russian forces dropped an explosive device from a drone. As a result, two men sustained serious injuries, Roman Mrochko, Head of the Kherson City Military Administration, reports.
"Two wounded men, aged 68 and 75, were taken to the hospital after an enemy drone attack. They suffered blast injuries due to the explosive device dropped by the enemy drone," Mrochko stated.
In addition to blast trauma, the victims sustained shrapnel wounds to their legs. Doctors are providing them with the necessary medical care.
Mrochko added that the wounded were evacuated from the most dangerous area of the Kherson community with the help of volunteers from the NGO "Strong Because Free." He once again warned residents to avoid frontline areas.
"We once again urge people who remain in the 'red' zones of the frontline Kherson community: evacuate in time, do not put others in mortal danger!" the Head of the Kherson City Military Administration emphasized.
Shelling of Kherson
Russian forces continue to shell Kherson and the Kherson region.
On March 27, the central part of Kherson came under fire. As a result of the attack, parts of the city lost power, and trolleybus services were suspended.
A massive shelling of Kherson claimed the lives of two people. An ambulance crew was also hit. According to the Kherson Regional Military Administration, a 55-year-old woman was killed in the attack. A man who was at a bus stop during the strike also lost his life.
Furthermore, an ambulance crew came under fire while evacuating a 59-year-old man who had suffered blast trauma, a concussion, and an abdominal wound.
Earlier, on March 25, Russian terrorists launched another attack on civilians, dropping an explosive device on a cyclist riding down a city street.
Against this backdrop, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that he expects a response from the United States regarding Russia's violation of the "energy truce," which had only begun on March 25.
