Russian troops destroy ice arena in Kherson — photos
Russian forces launched a massive strike on Kherson, resulting in the destruction of the city's ice arena, the Kyiv Capitals hockey club press service reported on April 16.
The ice arena in Kherson was opened in 2008 and served as the home venue for the local hockey team, Dnipro.
"This facility was not just a sports venue — it symbolized peaceful life in the city, where competitions and children's training sessions were once held," the club wrote.
"Now, there is nothing left but ruins. Russia is deliberately destroying Ukraine’s sports infrastructure!"
One person was killed and three others were injured in the April 16 shelling of Kherson. Russian forces launched massive strikes using glide bombs and artillery.
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.
