Russian army shells civilians evacuating during flood in Kherson
On June 8, the Russian military shelled Ukraine’s Kherson region, where civilians are currently trying to evacuate due to the flood unleashed by the destruction of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP) dam several days ago. According to a preliminary report from the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, one person was killed and at least two were wounded as a result of the targeted strikes.
Regional prosecutors in Kherson and Oleshky have begun a pre-trial investigation into the violation of laws and customs of war (Parts 1 and 2 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
The Telegram channel Astra published videos of the shelling, filmed by local residents. One of them shows an elderly man with a head wound sitting in a boat.
