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. In the first month of 2025, more than twelve thousand enemy shells "flew" to the Kherson region. These strikes ended the lives of 29 residents of the region, and another 237 sustained injuries of varying severity.

In the evening, on January 31, Russian terrorists attacked a father and son returning home from work in Dniprovsky district with a drone. Both worked for a utility company. The 22-year-old man was killed by the enemy's drone explosives. A 44-year-old man was wounded and hospitalized.

Also, Russian occupation forces continue to remotely mine the territory of the Kherson community, posing a deadly threat to local residents. Also in Kherson, police explosive technician Oleksandr Viter was killed during demining after Russian attacks . 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. Two more SES employees, including a female paramedic, were injured.

On January 21, the occupiers struck numerous times in the Kherson region. Two people were killed and 11 others were injured as a result of Russian aggression.
