According to the Kherson Regional Military Administration, the victim suffered a traumatic brain injury, multiple leg wounds, and shrapnel injuries to his head. He was rushed to the hospital in grave condition and remains under medical supervision.

During the night of Friday-Saturday, Russian troops also launched a missile strike on Kramatorsk, damaging several apartment buildings. The State Emergency Service of Ukraine (DSNS) reported that two people were wounded in the attack.

Rescuers provided first aid to an injured man at the scene and evacuated three other residents who had become trapped in their apartments due to blocked doors following the explosions.

These incidents are part of a wave of aerial assaults across Ukraine. In the early hours on Saturday, a Russian drone strike on an energy facility in the Chernihiv region’s Nizhyn district triggered a widespread power outage, leaving 380,000 residents without electricity.

Similar drone attacks targeted port and industrial infrastructure in the Odesa region, damaging warehouses and administrative buildings, and residential areas in Zaporizhzhia.
