Russian forces attacked a children’s hospital in Kherson with a combat drone this morning; bomb disposal experts neutralized the UAV.

According to Ukrinform, the Kherson Regional Police reported this on Telegram.

“This morning, the enemy launched another insidious strike on Kherson. Using a Molniya-type drone, the enemy attacked a children’s hospital in the city’s Dniprovskyi district,” the statement reads.

It is noted that the enemy drone flew into one of the windows but did not explode, and there were no casualties.

As noted, bomb disposal experts from the Kherson Regional Police promptly arrived at the scene and examined the remains of the drone and the explosive device, which was made from an anti-tank mine. The dangerous object was removed for destruction at a special site. Currently, law enforcement officials are taking measures to properly document yet another war crime committed by the Russian army.

As reported by Ukrinform, Russian troops are increasingly using Molniya combat UAVs against civilians in Kherson.
