Invaders hit convoy of trucks carrying UN humanitarian mission, with no injured reported
In Kherson region, Russian occupation forces targeted marked UN humanitarian aid trucks this morning. One truck burned, a second sustained significant damage, and two more escaped the attack, fortunately without casualties, according to regional military administration head Oleksandr Prokudin.
"This morning, in Bilozerska community, the occupiers targeted UN OCHA [United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs] trucks with drones and artillery. The four white vehicles with markings were not military equipment, but rather vehicles delivering aid to people," Prokudin wrote on Telegram on Tuesday.
According to him, one vehicle burned, and another was seriously damaged. "Two managed to escape the hit. It was only by a miracle that no one was injured," Prokudin added.
"Today, the world's 'second army' defeated several tonnes of humanitarian aid. Terrorists—there’s nothing more to say here," the head of the Administration noted.
As reported, this isn't the first attack on international humanitarian missions in Ukraine while they were working. On September 4, near Chernihiv, Russian forces struck workers of the Danish Refugee Council's humanitarian demining mission. Eight people were injured and two were killed.
