Since the beginning of October alone, Russian troops have attacked Kherson region with UAVs more than 1700 times. They hit not only real estate but also people. Brigades that help people with urgent repairs of damaged homes are also under attack.

The issue of protecting specialists from the occupiers' attacks was discussed during a meeting held by Olga Malyarchuk, Deputy Head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration. The meeting was attended by representatives of KHOKARS and the Hrom tactical group.

The post says that seven employees of the Kherson Regional Municipal Emergency Rescue Service have been injured since the beginning of its operation.

"Our main task is to create the safest possible conditions for those who risk their lives to help people. We are working to protect the crews from shelling and at the same time ensure the rapid restoration of damaged facilities," emphasized Olga Malyarchuk.

Earlier it was reported that in Kherson on the evening of October 21, an ambulance again became a "target" of the Russian occupation army. The enemy dropped an explosive device from a UAV on an ambulance crew that arrived to a patient in Dniprovsky district. Two employees were wounded. They are men, 44 and 47 years old. They had blast injuries and contusions, as well as shrapnel wounds to their legs. The victims were taken to a hospital for medical care. Also, around four in the morning, the occupiers attacked Antonivka in the Kherson community with a drone. The post says that a 74-year-old local resident was hit by the Russian occupiers and sustained an explosive injury, shrapnel wounds to her leg and torso. The victim was taken to a medical facility. Doctors assess her condition as moderate.
