The new restrictions apply to the media and residents of the peninsula. It is officially forbidden to post on social networks, media and messengers any materials about the location of air defense systems, military equipment and the consequences of explosions or attacks by drones and missiles belonging to the so-called "head of Crimea" Sergey Aksyonov.

This is reported by the online edition ua.news.

"On the territory of the Republic of Crimea, a ban is imposed on the dissemination of photos and videos, geographical coordinates and other information in the media, social networks and messengers," the occupation "head" emphasized.

Thus, according to the new law, journalists and Crimeans are now officially prohibited from filming and posting the following: air defense sites, weapons and troop concentrations, the aftermath of terrorist attacks, sabotage and emergencies, and the sites of detonations, crashes or explosions of missiles, drones and maritime drones.

Earlier, we wrote that the American publication featured a photo of a toddler killed by a Russian drone in the Kherson region on its cover. Ukrainian officials said that such strikes are not accidental: the Russians have turned the hunt for civilians into a "safari."

Kherson region spent another day under massive attacks from the air and ground, with Russians shelling more than 30 settlements. As a result of the attacks, 13 people were wounded and houses and civilian infrastructure were destroyed. One person was killed and four others were wounded in the shelling. Two high-rise buildings, 11 private houses, a gas pipeline, a cell tower and several cars were damaged. The day before, eight people, including two children, were injured in the enemy's strikes. Residential buildings, infrastructure and transport were also destroyed.
