On August 22, Mykolaiv Oblast declared a Day of Mourning for those who died as a result of the Russian attack on Tokarivka in the Veselynivska community. Among the dead were three children.
According to the Regional Military Administration, a Russian “suicide drone” struck a building housing a store, a “Nova Poshta” branch, and a pharmacy. The strike caused a fire covering an area of about 300 square meters.
Two 11-year-old boys, a 13-year-old boy, and a 30-year-old man were killed. Another person—a 36-year-old woman—was injured.
Emergency services responded to the scene.
In addition to Tokarivka, Russian troops attacked communities in the Mykolaiv region with drones overnight and in the morning.
