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.

Background

On August 1, the Russian occupying forces shelled Kherson once again. A projectile hit a hospital in the city center, killing a doctor and injuring a nurse.

The head of the city military administration, Roman Mrochka, and the Kherson regional prosecutor's office reported that a young doctor killed by Russia had only been working for a few days.

The prosecutor's office added that on August 1, around 11:00 a.m., Russian troops fired another round of fire at the center of Kherson.

According to the investigation, the doctor received multiple shrapnel wounds incompatible with life. A nurse was also injured.

The hospital building and ambulances were damaged. Prosecutors note that at this time, priority measures are being taken to document the crime committed by the army of the aggressor country.

As reported later, the doctor who died due to the shelling of the Kherson hospital had his first working day after his internship.

The administration also reports that two floors were damaged. The surgical and otolaryngology departments and the operating theater were destroyed.
