Strike in Kherson City Rocks the Region
A drone attack on the heart of Kherson city on May 2 left two men, aged 52 and 60, wounded, according to local authorities. This aggressive move by Russian forces stirred up the region once more.
Alexander Prokudin, the head of Kherson OVA, reported that around 1 PM, Russian forces launched a drone assault on the city center. The enemy's target: a parking lot. One vehicle was set ablaze, and others sustained damage.
Picture this: the aftermath of the attack unfolded right before our eyes. A chilling glimpse into the ongoing conflict can be found in the related video tweeted by the Kherson MVA (see below).
The injured men are currently receiving medical care in the hospital. Unfortunately, this incident is not an isolated event, as tensions between the countries continue to escalate.
Digging Deeper:
Russian forces have been relentless in their attacks on Kherson using drones. Although precise figures for May 2 casualties are not readily available, reports of past incidents, alongside the recent broader context, paint a grim picture.
Back on April 22, a Russian drone aimed for a funeral procession in Kherson city, injuring six people and damaging a hospital. The ongoing strikes have been a recurring issue, although specific May 2 casualty reports from Ukrainian-held areas are not explicitly detailed in available sources.
On May 1, Ukrainian drone strikes hit a market in Russian-occupied Oleshky, killing 7 and injuring over 20 according to Moscow-installed officials. This attack signifies the constant drone warfare in the occupied southern Ukraine, where both sides remain engaged.
Moreover, on May 3, Russia conducted a massive drone and missile attack across Ukraine, resulting in 5 fatalities and 61 injuries. Although this attack is not specific to Kherson, it underscores the ongoing violence plaguing the country.
Sadly, damage from these attacks reaches far beyond the battlefield, impacting hospitals and residential areas, especially as seen in the April incidents. While no major new reported civilian casualties from May 2 are confirmed in available data, the May 1 Oleshky attack demonstrates the continued violence in the region.
