Kherson region suffered more than 2000 drone attacks in a week

Last week, Kherson region suffered 2276 drone attacks by Russian troops. Of these, 659 attacks were recorded only within the Kherson city territorial community.

This was reported by Oleksandr Prokudin, the head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration.

At the same time, due to the effective work of the Ukrainian military, 1850 enemy UAVs were destroyed.

Yesterday, the occupation forces fired at Kherson and Beryslav districts using a variety of weapons: artillery, aircraft, multiple launch rocket systems and drones. As a result of these attacks, two people were killed - a police officer and a civilian - and six others were injured.

As a reminder, on September 22, mines were discovered on the territory of the Kherson branch of Suspilne after an inspection by the State Emergency Service. The reason for their appearance is the dropping of Russian drones.

After the mines were discovered, the territory was closed to the public. Previously, the territory was cleared of explosive devices after the de-occupation, but the latest findings indicate that the Russians "started to sprinkle" it again. Kozlov emphasized that the safety of media workers is a priority, so steps are being worked out to completely close the facility.

This incident took place against the backdrop of a tragic event: On September 22, <b>Vadym Khomenko</b>, the chief engineer of Suspilne Kherson, was killed by a Russian mine in Kherson. He is now in a hospital in moderate condition.

As a reminder, the Ingulsky dredger, which was damaged in July while working at the mouth of the Bystryi River, was successfully raised from the bottom of the canal. According to the USPA, the vessel has been sent for a technical inspection, which will determine the scope and procedure for repair work.
