Ukrainian defenders eliminate occupants who killed a one-year-old child in Kherson region – General Staff

Ukrainian defenders eliminated Russian drone operators involved in the death of a one-year-old child in the village of Pravdyne in Kherson region on July 9. This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"Ukrainian soldiers took revenge on the Russian barbarians who killed a one-year-old child in Kherson region... At this time, there is reason to believe that the operators of enemy attack drones involved in the death of the child have been destroyed," the military said.

The defenders established that the Russians launched the Molniya drone for the attack from the temporarily occupied town of Hola Prystan, and the military also identified the location of the invaders' crew in a five-story non-residential building.

Defense Forces operators sent five FPV drones to the relevant floor in four steps – and after the strikes, there were no more launches of Russian drones from this building, the General Staff noted.

Hola Prystan is a city on the Dnipro River occupied in 2022. Pravdyne is a village near the administrative border with Mykolaiv region, northwest of the city. The distance between the settlements is about 32 kilometers (the range of the Molniya is 40 km).

• The Russian attack on the village of Pravdyne in the Bilozerka community took place on July 9: a boy Dmytro, who was only a year and two months old, was killed by a UAV stike. The child's grandmother was also injured.
