--- Tragic news has once again struck at the heart of Kherson: a civilian elderly woman was killed in a missile strike by Russian occupying forces. They brought destruction and grief to the lives of local residents, once again filling the atmosphere of alarm and mourning with reports. According to official sources, this morning, May 22, 2025, the aggressor's forces used artillery against peaceful city residents, without targeting any military objects. As a result of this tragic attack, an 85-year-old woman, who was in her home, was killed before she could escape the powerful shells. The circumstances of the event are clarified by local law enforcement and military officials. The regional head, Oleksandr Prokudin, confirmed to the media: "The Russian armed forces carried out an artillery strike on Kherson on Tuesday morning. As a result of this attack, a peaceful resident — an elderly woman — was injured. She sustained injuries incompatible with life." This information is also confirmed by the Kherson Regional Prosecutor's Office, which has already begun investigating the incident. According to the investigation, the attack was a deliberate act of enemy aggression and qualifies as a war crime. Law enforcement authorities have opened a criminal case under the article that provides for responsibility for war crimes — Part 2 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. This means that the investigation is working to establish all the circumstances of the tragedy, identify the perpetrators, and determine the motives behind the attack. It is known that in such a difficult situation, the regional leadership expresses heartfelt condolences to the victim's family. Oleksandr Prokudin emphasized the need to strengthen protection and assist all those affected by Russian aggression. The city authorities and law enforcement agencies urge residents to stay calm and be cautious in this complex and unpredictable situation.
