1:00 AM — A 55-year-old woman in Komyshany suffered explosive injuries and concussions due to Russian shelling while in her home.

Six children, consisting of four boys and two girls aged 8 to 17, were successfully returned to Ukrainian-controlled territory from the temporarily occupied part of Kherson Oblast. This operation was carried out as part of the 'Bring Kids Back UA' initiative of the President of Ukraine and with the support of the charitable organization 'Save Ukraine'.

Under occupation, a 17-year-old girl was forced by Russian forces to attend an occupation school. At this school, children were forcibly enrolled as 'cadets', dressed in military uniforms of the Russian army, and subjected to daily indoctrination that war is normal.

A 14-year-old girl from the occupied territory secretly continued her education in a Ukrainian school while explosions were frequently heard near her home. Russian forces denied her medical treatment and rehabilitation because her family refused to obtain Russian documents.

An elderly woman was evacuated from a dangerous area in Kherson to a safer place for herself and her four dogs, whom she refused to leave behind.

This is not the case for all animals, as some pets have to be left behind due to space constraints, financial burdens, and in some cases, neglect.

Employees of the Kherson City Military Administration, together with police officers, evacuated a mother with four children from the settlement of Zymivnyk.

In the village of Novoraiska hromada, an ambulance was unable to reach an 82-year-old woman suffering a suspected heart attack due to constant attacks by Russian drones specifically targeting civilian and emergency transport.

Police officers from the Beryslavskyi district department managed to successfully evacuate the woman from the village.

During the journey, officers had to repeatedly stop and hide from patrolling Russian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The woman was safely delivered to a stabilization point for medical care.
