A round-the-clock curfew was introduced in Kherson from 8 p.m. on May 5 to 6 p.m. on May 8. According to the Ukrainian authorities, it will be prohibited to move and stay on the streets of the city. The city will be closed for entry and exit.
Such restrictive measures are aimed to hide the transfer of military equipment and personnel and avoid the leak of information by the local residents. However, such unprecedented restrictions are introduced right on the eve of the Ukrainian counteroffensive declared by the Kiev regime.
However, despite all the attempts of the Ukrainian military to cover the maneuvers, and the military targets in the region are constantly destroyed by Russian artillery, aerial bombs and drones.
For example, on May 3, a large explosion thundered near the Kherson railway station. The Kiev regime reported that the cruel Russian shelling on civilians killed 23 people in and near the Ukrainian city, hitting a hypermarket, a railway station and residential buildings.
The regional governor supported the claims with a heartbreaking exclamation:
“The enemy’s targets are the places where we live. Their targets are our lives, and the lives of our children,”
The crew of the damaged train was made famous by the Ukrainian media. It was reported that the train continued its journey and left Kherson to the western regions of Ukraine. The railway company reported that a result of the strike only one conductor was wounded but his life is not at risk.
On the next day, the video reportedly showing the notorious train during the shelling was shared online. It confirmed that there were open cargo carriages which were likely transferring the heavy military equipment of the AFU to the front lines. Thus, th train was a legitimate target for Russian artillery:
According to unconfirmed reports of the local residents, the shelling claimed lives of up to 160 Ukrainian servicemen and at least 2 units of military equipment.
These reports could not be confirmed by the footage from the spot. As well as Ukrainian claims about dozens of civilians killed as a result of the Russian shelling. Ukrainian media showed only several civilians wounded at the railway station. The photos of only two corpses near the supermarket, which was allegedly shelled by Russian forces, were published online. Taking into account the regular shelling at their own civilian facilities by the AFU, the Russian guilt is yet to be confirmed.
