According to Oleksandr Prokudin, the head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration, these strikes ended the lives of 29 residents of the region, and another 237 sustained injuries of varying severity.

"They were not on the battlefield. Some were going to buy bread, some were returning from work, some were just standing in their yards. But the Russians attacked them - cynically and ruthlessly," the official said.

According to him, more than half of the victims are the consequences of the Russian drone safari.

"The enemy purposefully killed 17 people from the wings and injured 142 residents of the region," Prokudin added.
