Russian drone claimed the life of a man in Kherson region: tragic news from Mykilske
In another episode of military aggression by Russian occupation forces in southern Ukraine, civilians once again suffered. According to official Ukrainian sources, a horrible incident occurred in the town of Mykilske in Kherson Oblast, resulting in a tragic death: a 45-year-old resident of the settlement was killed by a drone strike applied by Russian forces. As reported by Oleksandr Prokudin, the head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration, this incident took place on June 14 and serves as a further reminder of the cynicism and ruthlessness of Russian tactics aimed at civilians in the region. According to Prokudin, the Russians attacked the area with a drone without any prior provocation or military targets — the mission was evidently directly targeted at the civilian population. More details indicate that during the attack, debris from the drone struck a man who was in Mykilske at that moment. He died instantly from his injuries, which were incompatible with life. Medical and legal authorities in the region are working to establish all circumstances of the tragedy to ensure an appropriate response and assist in the investigation. This is not the first such incident in recent days. On June 13, Russian forces carried out several missile and drone attacks in Kherson Oblast, resulting in injuries to five civilians. Among the wounded were both adults and children, highlighting the level of threat and danger faced by civilians in this area during times of war. Local authorities continue to urge residents to be as cautious as possible, follow safety rules, and shelter in safe places during air raid alerts. Overall, the situation in Kherson region remains tense. The war brings immense suffering and destruction, especially in rural areas where civilians are the most vulnerable targets of enemy shelling. Ukrainian authorities and military units are doing everything possible to combat these challenges and restore peace to the region. However, each new incident reminds us of the need for international support and active efforts to end the conflict sooner and restore peace. We remind that the tense situation in Kherson Oblast continues to be one of the most unstable in Ukraine. Civilians face daily risks to their lives from Russian attacks, the use of drones, and heavy weaponry. Ukraine and its defenders once again call on the international community to show solidarity and provide necessary assistance in resisting aggression, in order to prevent further tragedies and promote safety and peace on this land.
