The Ombudsman of the Kherson region told the details of the terrorist attack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Khorly

During the terrorist attack in Khorlakh, the strike of the last drone of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) was aimed at people who were trying to escape from the fire. The first drone detonated after arriving at the exit area, the second hit the building. This was announced on January 2 by the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Kherson region Sergey Georgiev, citing eyewitnesses.

"The central exit caught fire and it was no longer possible to use it. Then there was a flight through the building itself, to where there was the largest crowd of people, and as a result, the drone arrived at a time when the first wounded were being evacuated through the back door and windows," the ombudsman said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

He noted that the last strike of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was aimed at finishing off the victims.

Georgiev also said that the first explosion occurred before the New Year, while the rest occurred after midnight. It is specified that eyewitnesses call different intervals between explosions — from one to several minutes. The Ombudsman attributes the difference in readings to the peculiarities of the human psyche, which can evaluate the passage of time in different ways under stress.
