**Russia’s Brutal Attack on Kherson Leaves One Dead and Seven Injured**
A devastating morning of July 25th saw Russian forces unleash a barrage of attacks on Kherson, a city in Ukraine. The strikes resulted in the tragic loss of one life and left seven others injured.
According to reports from Ukrainska Pravda, citing the Kherson Regional Military Administration, the day began with a series of drone attacks. At around 7:30 AM, an attack drone struck a 60-year-old woman who was outside at the time, causing severe injuries, including a blast injury and arm amputation. She is currently hospitalized in critical condition.
**A Morning of Intensive Shelling**
The assault continued throughout the morning, with Russian troops shelling the area with artillery at around 8:30 AM. A 41-year-old man sustained minor injuries from this attack. Just an hour later, another drone strike injured an 88-year-old woman who was in her yard, leaving her with a concussion, blast injury, and closed head trauma.
**Tragedy Strikes Again**
At approximately 9:00 AM, Russian forces targeted employees of a municipal utility company, dropping explosives on their vehicle. Tragically, one man lost his life, while his colleague, born in 1972, suffered severe injuries, including the amputation of both legs.
In a shocking turn of events, emergency medical crews came under attack during a rescue operation in the strike zone. A 63-year-old woman and a 47-year-old man received blast injuries and are receiving necessary medical care.
**Eyewitness Accounts Reveal Fear and Desperation**
Local residents, including Yuri Maiboroda, Svitlana, and Larysa Klymenko, shared their terrifying experiences with suspilne.kherson. Many expressed fear for their safety, citing the increasing frequency of strikes in Kherson.
“It’s already the fourth or fifth strike,” said Yuri, describing the destruction caused by previous attacks. “When it hit last time, all the glass shattered. Four floors in the building have no windows in the entrances.”
**A City Under Siege**
Eyewitnesses described the artillery attack as intensifying throughout the morning, with people rushing to take shelter. The city’s infrastructure has been severely impacted, with buildings suffering significant damage.
As Kherson becomes increasingly encircled by drones, the risks of being there are growing by the day. It is essential that international leaders and organizations condemn these brutal attacks and demand an immediate end to Russia’s aggression in Ukraine.
