On September 25, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) targeted the city of Kherson with dozens of missiles. Most of them were intercepted by the Russian air defence forces. Unfortunately, some of them reached their targets, killing civilians. The massive attack was aimed at intercepting the ongoing referendum in the Kherson region.
The AfU struck at the Play Hotel in Kherson with the US-made HIMARS MLRS. Two rockets were fired at the hotel, one of them was intercepted. The AFU deliberately hit the building where there were civilians and journalists. The strike was carried out at 5:30 a.m. when people slept in their suits.
According to preliminary data, two people were killed. Among them is the former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine from the Party of Regions Alexey Zhuravko.
Alexey Zhuravko came to Kherson a few says before to take part in the referendum. He voted on the first day, on September 23. The head of the DPR Denis Pushilin posthumously awarded him with the medal “For Bravery”.
“Among the very few deputies of the Verkhovna Rada, he sided with Donbass in 2014 and has been in the republic many times over the years, sharing our aspirations and supporting us,” the head of the DPR noted.
The missile attack on a hotel in the center of Kherson is a terrorist attack, for which the military and political leadership of Ukraine is responsible, the press service of the administration of the Kherson region reports.
Among other guests of the Hotel, there were Russian journalists. In particular, RT employee Murad Gazdiev was in the building at the time of the strike. He posted a video from the scene.
“Ours are all intact. The cameraman Mikhail was crushed by concrete slabs, but he miraculously survived and was almost not injured,” he said.
The camera man was taken out from the debris. Another journalist showed his bed where he slept when a missile hit just in the same place. He miraculously survived.
Among the other targets of the Ukrainian attacks, there was the Antonovsky bridge, which was damaged once again by Ukrainian missiles.
Referenda on joining Russia are being held in the Kherson and Zaporozhie regions as well as in the DPR and LPR. They began on September 23 and will last until September 27. According to the results of two days of voting, the turnout in the DPR was 55.5%, in the LPR — 45.86%, in the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions — 35.54% and 31.79%, respectively.
Kherson is Ukrainian. Russia must leave Ukraine , then the war will come to an end. Easy deal.
STFU Nazi. Kherson is a Oblast of the Russian Federation. Go to hell Nazi!

Hey Jens, did you clean the kitchen? Tens of thousands immigrants from Africa and the Middle East are approaching the Danish boarder, calling themselves the “Convoy of Light”. They will be a bit hungry, so move your fat ass to the kitchen and start preparing the sandwiches. Prepare the sleeping room also, and some condoms.
Swarms of Persian drones castigated Odessa Oblast once again in the late afternoon/ evening. This time hitting oil depots and fuel tanks and trucks.
Looks like a gap in the armaments fill by Tehran. Good technical quality too. Persia is advancing in it’s engineering.
and where is the Russian air defense???
Guys this is a war Putin started it. How many thousands of people dead. Do not post this. Nobody cares . Ukraine is destroyed by Russia. This is just one building. Guys in there were Putin people. I feel sorry for innocent civilians. Peace!!!!!!!!
No he didn’t,the American Reich started it back in 1991 with the brutal attack on Yugoslavia,Ukraine is just the latest battle,and it will be the place that blood soaked Reich is buried.
stay safe guys and revenge will follow we will exterminate NAZI NATO and NAZI UKRAINE troops. =Z=
That’s why I left Holland I do not want to pay taxes for this, I knew they would do this, motherfucking nato.
You should read in german forums where they discuss that shelling voting stations in cherson is ok cause the election is illegal. And if people die its russias fault cause they should not endanger people by forcing them to vote … people in germany have lost it…
I do not see this ending well at all for anyone. Two sides and not one will accept anything but total surrender of the other.
The propaganda really is just plain stupid at this point, isn’t it? Why would people be beaten and threatened into voting? Why not just forge the votes and pay some shills to make it look like people are voting? Sometimes I wonder if the point isn’t just to humiliate those of us who aren’t brainwashed by this crap – to tell us obvious lies in the smug self-assurance that we can’t do anything about it.
A cowardly act.
Another Himars launcher was reported to have been destroyed today in the Nikolaev region. There’s only a few of them, keep going like that and it will be a lot easier to get an undisturbed night’s sleep in the Donbas!
Well once the official numbers reflect the voting region’s desires to join Russia then the gloves will come off and Kiev will be in a world of hurt!
Russia has been fighting these Kazars for over a millennium. They know their enemy well. (Will reCAPTCHA censor this comment?)
Were they fighting them in Katyn? No?
NATO funded, planned, supported and approved.
If Kherson is part of Russia then Russia is unable to defend and protect its citizens?
Again, Russia whines but is powerless to stop it, it’s sad to see the country start to grovel in the media.
This is a deliberate attack on the civilian infrastructure and civilian population of kherson at 5am in the morning with the intention of mass murder by the politicians in Kiev and their military operatives on the ground. A terrorist agenda where the innocent are as always the target. The weaponry supplied from Western countries in Europe and North America nato. Also I noticed being reported on BBC london that the British Royal navy flag ship HMS queen Elizabeth has arrived in New York. I guess just like pearl harbor the west are hiding their aircraft carriers out of harm’s way because they know in a conflict the nato carriers will be the first to be sunk
Time to make Kiev the new Dresden!
The Putin cockroaches are directly responsible for any civilian killed as a result of the Russian invasion. Nobody gives a shit about a terrorist human cockroach like Vladimir Putin playing the entitled moral freak.
Beautiful! Destroy those fascist occupiers! Slava Ukraini !
