Russian Strike Damages 4 Paws Animal Shelter in Kherson - Urgent Help Needed

As a result of a nighttime Russian strike on Kherson with guided aerial bombs, the 4 Paws animal shelter was damaged.

"A UAV arrived very close by, and the blast wave opened windows and cages, but the dogs did not harm themselves," the statement said.

According to the staff, the roofs were again damaged by the debris, and the cat enclosure was damaged once again. Now the roof needs to be completely replaced, as any rain can lead to flooding, and animals can escape through the cracks.
