On February 2, in Kherson, Russians attacked an ambulance that was responding to a call from a drone.

According to the Kherson Regional Military Administration, the vehicle sustained minor damage due to the explosives dropped from the UAV.

"The medical workers were not injured," the KhOVA added.

In general, Russian troops fired at the Dniprovsky district of Kherson in the morning. A woman born in 1952 died as a result of a shell hit to a residential building. Also, a 50-year-old man who was in the yard sustained an explosive injury and contusion as a result of enemy shelling. The victim is under medical supervision. At noon, Russian troops attacked the man with a drone. As a result of the explosives dropped from the UAV, a 74-year-old resident of Kherson, who was on the balcony at the time of the enemy attack, sustained a contusion and an explosive injury.

The occupants continue to deliberately destroy civilian infrastructure and attack civilians, leaving Kherson residents no chance for a peaceful life. Kherson is under daily attack by Russian occupation forces. Numerous explosions are heard in the city, civilians are killed and injured.

Before that, six employees of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, who were engaged in humanitarian demining in Kherson region, came under targeted fire from Russians and were killed.
