Russian strike at Kherson hypermarket kills three, injures five
At least three people were killed and another five were injured after a Russian missile struck a hypermarket in Kherson on May 3, Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said on Telegram.
He said the attack on the only operating hypermarket (Epicentr) took place at about 11.00 a.m.
The agency also posted a photo of the damaged facility, adding that those killed and injured included the hypermarket’s staff and customers.
“All emergency services are (working) at the scene,” Klymenko said.
“They’re providing people with the necessary assistance. It’s impossible to negotiate with Russian murderers. They must be brought to justice or destroyed.”
Invading Russian forces launched 106 attacks with various types of weapons on Ukraine’s Kherson Oblast over the past day, including shelling the liberated city of Kherson nine times.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
