The strike was carried out from the HIMARS multiple-launch rocket system on a hotel in the center of Kherson.

Emergency services are working on the spot, sorting out the rubble and searching for victims.

Deputy of the Kherson Regional Council and military serviceman Serhii Khlan told the details of the incident.

On the morning of September 25, there was an explosion in the Play Hotel.

This establishment is located in the area of ​​the central market in Kherson.

"That's it for the traitor Oleksii Zhuravko! He went to Kobzon. The Russian Guardsmen and the Russia Today propaganda film crew were there. Now all the Russian publics are reporting that the former member of the Verkhovna Rada Oleksii Zhuravko has gone to hell," Khlan wrote on his Facebook page.

Certificate:

Zhuravko was twice elected a People's Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine (V and VI convocations) from the "Party of Regions".

With the start of the war in Donbas in 2014, he fled to Russia, where he actively supported Putin's policies.

In December 2020, the SBU accused the former people's deputy of creating a terrorist organization and actions to overthrow the constitutional order of Ukraine and announced a suspicion.

In 2022, after the occupation of southern Ukraine, the ex-deputy returned to Kherson, where he thanked the Russian occupiers for "liberation".

The day before it became known that the head of the occupation "administration" of the Kherson region, Volodymyr Saldo, is in a medically induced coma after poisoning.
