Russian forces in the temporarily occupied Oleshky, Kherson region, engaged in chaotic gunfire, resulting in the death of an individual, according to the Kherson regional prosecutor's office.

The incident was brought to light following media reports of a shooting incident orchestrated by Russian military on January 10, 2024, in the temporarily occupied city of Oleshky. A local resident lost their life due to the indiscriminate firing, according to the statement.

Investigation underway

A criminal investigation has been initiated to probe the violation of laws and customs of war, coupled with intentional murder. Law enforcement is currently unraveling all the details, with the investigation entrusted to the detectives of the Main Department of the National Police in the Kherson region.

Russia's war crimes

The Russian army has consistently been perpetrating war crimes since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Several Western nations have condemned the Kremlin for these actions, pledging to hold all involved in the commission of crimes accountable.

Two law enforcement officers from Dagestan tortured individuals in the occupied part of Vasylivsky district, Zaporizhzhia region. A Ukrainian court found them guilty of violating laws and customs of war.

Additionally, two Russian military personnel in the temporarily occupied territory of Kherson region killed a local resident, leading to the announcement of suspicions against them.
