Quote : "In the village of Pravdyne, Bilozerka hromada, the Russians used a drone to attack a one-year-old boy and an elderly woman who were in the yard of their house. Unfortunately, the child died on the spot from his injuries." [A hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories – ed.]

Details : Prokudin said that a 64-year-old local resident suffered a concussion, explosive and closed head injuries.

An ambulance crew provided her with assistance on the spot, but the woman refused hospitalisation.

Background : The Russians have been attacking civilians in Kherson Oblast with FPV drones almost daily for several years. On the morning of 9 July alone, the Russians wounded two Kherson residents.
