Quote: "Andrii Petukhov, the head of the organisation, who closely cooperates with Kherson City Military Administration on evacuation issues, had five requests to evacuate people and animals from a danger zone. He left in the morning hoping the trip would go well. But on the way back, the Russians struck the vehicle with several UAVs."

Details: Mrochko added that thanks to the vehicle being armoured, no one was injured, but the car was completely destroyed by fire.

"The Ruscists are not just turning life into hell for our people in the ‘red’ frontline zones of the Kherson hromada – they are making evacuation efforts from those areas impossible," the city head wrote, urging residents to leave dangerous areas. [A hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories – ed.]

Background: On 4 April, the Russians also attacked a 74-year-old resident of Kherson and a 69-year-old woman in the city of Beryslav using drones.
