A 52-year-old man who suffered injuries in the Russian attack on Kherson died in a hospital, the head of the city's military administration, Roman Mrochko, reported on June 19.

Russian forces attacked the Dniprovskyi district of the city at around 6 p.m. local time on June 19. The strike injured two men, aged 30 and 52. They were carrying out repair work on the roof at the moment of the attack. Both of them were hospitalized.

The 52-year-old man was in a serious condition. He suffered a contusion, head injury, as well as shrapnel wounds.

Mrochko reported the man died at around 7:20 p.m. local time.

Since Ukraine liberated Kherson and its surrounding areas on the western bank of the Dnipro River in November 2022, Russian troops have continued to regularly attack the territory.

Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, war has become a daily reality for thousands of Ukrainian children. Some Ukrainian military units, such as the Azov Brigade, offer boot camps for teenagers to teach them the basics of self-defense, first aid, dry firing, and other survival skills — helping them prepare for both the realities of today and the uncertainties of the future.
