Russian drone attack hits civilian taxi in Kherson
Russian forces struck a taxi with a drone in Kherson’s Korabelnyi District on Sept. 1, injuring three adults and two children, the Kherson Oblast Military Administration said.
On September 1, Russian forces launched a drone strike targeting a civilian taxi in Kherson’s Korabelnyi District, resulting in injuries to five people. The victims included three adults and two children. Among the children, two 11-year-olds and a 2-year-old suffered injuries ranging from concussions and blast injuries to closed head injuries.
The 46-year-old driver and two women aged 32 and 36 also sustained similar injuries. The girls' mothers were among those injured as well, sustaining shrapnel wounds to their legs. All five victims were admitted to the hospital and are currently under medical supervision, with their conditions described as moderate.
Kherson Oblast Governor Oleksandr Prokudin revealed his recent appeal for residents to evacuate the city, citing the ongoing security challenges posed by intensified Russian drone attacks and strikes on critical infrastructure, such as the Kherson thermal power plant. The thermal power plant, which had already been targeted by Russian forces multiple times since June, suffered further damage from guided aerial bombs on June 26 and 27.
Prokudin emphasized the need for transparent communication with residents, even if it causes anxiety or anger, regarding the current security situation.
