In particular, men aged 24, 41, 43, 44 and 47 were injured. They suffered blast injuries and shrapnel wounds to their limbs and torsos. All the victims were taken to hospital for medical care.

Also on this day, at about 17:10, the Russian occupiers attacked Kherson again with a drone. In the Dniprovskyi district of the city, a 45-year-old man who was near a store at the time was injured by the explosive drop.

The victim went to the hospital on his own. He was diagnosed with an explosive injury and a head wound and is currently being treated by doctors.

As OBOZ.UA reported, the occupiers massively shelled different districts of Kherson at night and in the morning of October 17. The enemy attacks resulted in casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure. However, as of this hour, the consequences of these hostile attacks have been almost eliminated.

According to Roman Mrochko, the head of the Kherson City Military Administration, the combined emergency response team of the KhRMA engaged volunteers and public utilities to clear the houses of the victims of construction debris, cover the broken windows with OSB boards, etc.

We would also like to remind you that Russian troops continue to remotely mine the right bank of the Kherson region from the temporarily occupied coast of Ukraine. In particular, the invaders are throwing prohibited petal mines at the districts of Kherson, Stanislav, and Beryslav.
