The occupiers continue to terrorize civilians in the Kherson community. In September, the use of enemy drones became even more aggressive.

This was reported by the head of the Kherson MVA Roman Mrochko.

The official's post says that Russian troops are dropping explosives on people, civilian cars, public transport, and in the yards of houses... In addition, the occupiers have started shelling the Kherson community from the air again. Plus the "standard set" - tanks, mortars, artillery.

Social infrastructure and residential areas are being destroyed. People are being killed and injured. In September alone, six people were killed and almost 150 injured in the Kherson territorial community as a result of shelling and discharges by the occupiers. And on October 1, there was another Russian attack on Kherson, right in the center of the city; on people who were at a bus stop near the central market. Six people were killed and seven wounded. At least one of them is in serious condition.

The occupiers are trying to destroy the once flourishing city. Apparently, in this way they want to take revenge on the people of Kherson, who did not want to submit to them and resisted during the temporary occupation. Now the Nazis are destroying educational and medical institutions, infrastructure and cultural facilities, as well as civilian homes.

Earlier it was reported that on September 26, another enemy UAV hit a civilian car in one of the neighborhoods of Kherson. Rescuers extinguished the fire. On September 15, in the evening, enemy troops shelled the city of Kherson once again. As a result of the shelling, a private residential building caught fire in one of the neighborhoods. During the work of fire and rescue units, there was a constant threat of repeated attacks, including from enemy UAVs. Despite all the difficulties, the fire was extinguished.

The way the center of Kherson looks now was captured by the lens of an Intent correspondent.
