Volodymyr Litvinov, head of Berezlav District Military Administration, provides an update on Russia’s attacks today in Kherson region.Around 12:30pm, Russia dropped five guided bombs on Berezlav. One hit the hospital’s stationary building, destroying the entire 4th floor which housed the intensive care unit. Another bomb struck the outpatient clinic. No civilians were hurt but medical staff were injured – a paramedic, ambulance driver, and gynecologist with non-life threatening wounds.Three other bombs hit two 5-story apartment buildings, destroying around 20 apartments completely and damaging 30 more. Luckily no one was home during the strikes. Two ambulances at the hospital were also damaged.The 4th floor and ICU at the hospital are completely destroyed and unsuitable for patients. Floors 2 and 3 have minor damage. Police and emergency services are working to clear debris. The hospital currently cannot accept patients until repairs are made. Some medical staff remain to provide initial aid. Serious cases will be sent to Kherson city.On Sept 15th, the Kherson authorities decided on mandatory evacuation of 20 communities in Berezlav district, home to around 8,700 people. So far 119 have been evacuated, including 54 children, elderly and disabled. But 325 children remain despite constant shelling. Evacuation is free and good conditions are assured. Parents are urged to consider their children’s lives and use the free evacuation during this dangerous period. They can contact local military administrations and hotlines for assistance.Russia is trying to make Berezlav unlivable before winter. The guided munition attacks will likely continue, and there is currently no effective defense against them. So the only protection is evacuation from frontline areas within range.

Poor guy, killed trimming trees.
We have to hang our collective heads in shame for allowing this monster in the Kremlin to get away with endless atrocities for 23 years. He must not get away with it this time.
Fuck Russia
