Russian forces shell the same Kherson hospital for the second time in three days

The Russian forces hit the same hospital in Ukraine's southern city of Kherson, where they killed a young doctor on August 1, for the second time.

The Kherson regional military administration reports that they hit the courtyard this time, damaging the morgue building.

"A new strike at Kherson's Karabelesh hospital, where the orcs killed a young doctor and injured a nurse with their missiles on Tuesday. Another refutation of the propaganda narrative about 'accidental' hits on civilian infrastructure," the statement reads.

This time, the Russian forces hit the courtyard, damaging the morgue. Windows and doors in the reception department were broken.

Workers and patients were in the shelter at the time of the attack. According to initial reports, there were no casualties.
