Russian propaganda media have reported that two people, including a former member of the Ukrainian Parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, have been killed in Kherson as a result of an alleged strike.

Details: It has been reported that Oleksii Zhuravko, a former "rehional" [representative of the Party of Regions which was a pro-Russian political party in Ukraine], is allegedly among those killed.
He published a video on 23 September in which he "voted" in the sham referendum in Kherson.
As has become customary, the occupiers are blaming Ukraine for his death.
For reference: Zhuravko has been a member of the Party of Regions faction since 2006, and since 2015 he fled to Russia, where he has lived until now.
When he was a member of parliament, Zhuravko attacked a Ukrainska Pravda journalist in the parliament building.
He has supported the Russian aggression against Ukraine since the beginning of the war.
Previously:
On 29 August, Oleksii Kovalov, a former member of the Ukrainian parliament and recently a collaborator with Russia, was killed in the Russian-occupied territory of Kherson Oblast.
