ROSTOV-ON-DON. April 4 (Interfax) - Two people have been killed in a drone attack in Novaya Kakhovka in the Kherson region, head of the regional government Andrei Alexeyenko said on Thursday.
"A repair team has died in Novaya Kakhovka. They were restoring mobile communications for residents. A drone dropped a shell, they had no chance," Alexeyenko wrote on Telegram.
One of the workers died on the spot while another two were dragged into a residential building just in time. An ambulance arrived at the scene but was attacked by drones. The medics were not harmed. They made it to the building's entrance and helped take the injured down to the cellar. However, it was impossible to transport the injured to the hospital because of the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and one of them died. The team leader survived and is now in critical condition. Medics are fighting for his life, he said.
Earlier on Thursday, Alexeyenko reported the deaths of two civilians who were carrying food products to the village of Babino in the Kherson region. They were killed when their GAZelle minivan was attacked by Ukrainian drones, he said.
