In the village of Velyka Lepetykha, on the left bank of the Kherson region, the house of a representative of the occupation administration was attacked by an unknown drone.

According to IPC-South correspondents, the attack caused panic among the collaborator, and his car was destroyed as a result of an explosive charge.

According to the information, seven charges were dropped at the facility, four of which hit the yard of the house. The attack is classified as aimed at weakening the occupation authorities.

Russian representatives claim that local collaborators condemned the incident and blamed the Ukrainian Armed Forces. They promise to strengthen security measures and plan to conduct repressive checks among the local population, suspecting that the drone could have been guided by someone from the local community.

Meanwhile, the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) has fully satisfied the claim of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine against Oleksandr Kuzmenko, a collaborator who voluntarily took the position of the so-called "Minister of Culture of Kherson region" during the occupation of the region. According to the court's decision, all of Kuzmenko's property found in Ukraine was transferred to the state.

Earlier, the SBU exposed the activities of Oleksandra Pshenychna in the occupied territory of Kherson region. The woman used to be the starosta of the village of Zaozerne, and after the occupation she cooperated with the enemy and ran an illegal administration.

In addition, Oleksandr Filenko, the head of the villages of Radensk and Chelburda, was also suspected . Previously, 28-year-old Anastasia Androsenko from the village of Shevchenko in the Skadovsk community of Kherson region was sentenced in absentia to 10 years in prison for collaboration. Earlier, the court sentenced a resident of Kherson who voluntarily agreed to serve in the Russian police during the occupation.
