On the morn of 2nd August, two individuals met a tragic end in Kherson, at the hands of Russian forces.
In the early hours of an unspecified date, the peaceful town of Bilozerka in Kherson Oblast was shattered by a Russian artillery attack. The incident, part of a series of escalating assaults on the region, targeted a residential building, leaving two local men, aged 55 and 56, injured while at home. No further details about the nature of their injuries have been revealed.
Simultaneously, on August 2, 2025, Russian forces launched an airstrike on the city of Kherson, dropping two guided bombs that damaged a key road bridge connecting the city to the Korabel neighborhood. The strike also caused damage to three private homes and a high-rise residential building.
The aftermath of this attack was devastating. Ukrainian officials reported that logistics and infrastructure complications have made delivering food and supplies difficult, prompting evacuation appeals for the Korabel district. Tragically, the attack resulted in the death of a 68-year-old woman in Kherson's Korabelnyi district. Two others were wounded: a 41-year-old man sustained blast trauma and multiple injuries to his torso and limbs, and a 79-year-old man also suffered blast trauma.
The destruction didn't stop there. Russian forces bombarded a residential building in Kherson's Dniprovskyi district, resulting in the recovery of a man's body from under the rubble.
These attacks reflect a broader pattern of intensified Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian cities in early August 2025. Internet service restrictions were reported across Kherson Oblast, and operations at the Samara airport were suspended following the attacks. The ongoing assaults on Kherson Oblast, a strategically important region near Russian-occupied Crimea, continue to pose significant challenges for the Ukrainian government and its people.
These events highlight the ongoing conflict and the need for a peaceful resolution to the crisis in Ukraine. As the situation continues to unfold, updates and further information will be reported as they become available.
The ongoing attacks in Kherson Oblast, including the recent barrage on civilian areas, pose a serious threat to the health and safety of the people living there. These war-and-conflicts have caused disruptions in general-news areas such as transportation, infrastructure, and food supply chains, exacerbating the already dire situation.
