Shelling of Kherson on October 17: death toll rises to two, 35 people injured

A Kherson resident, wounded during Russian airstrikes on the Korabelnyi district on October 17, has died in the hospital. Consequently, the death toll has risen to two, with another 35 people injured.

Medical personnel fought to save the 58-year-old man’s life until the very end, but his injuries proved fatal.

As a result of this Russian terrorist attack on residential buildings, two people were killed and 35 others sustained injuries.

Around 4:00 a.m. on October 17, Russian aviation carried out an airstrike on Kherson. It was reported that 35 civilians sustained injuries of varying severity—including two children (a one-month-old boy and an 11-year-old girl) as well as two medical workers. Less than an hour later, another strike involving aerial bombs hit the same location, resulting in the death of an ambulance driver.
