A vehicle belonging to the Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS) was destroyed in the Ukrainian city of Kherson following a drone strike carried out by Russian forces.

"Around 5:30 p.m. on Friday in Kherson, a Russian drone strike caused an explosion and fire that destroyed a Volkswagen vehicle bearing the logo of the Ukrainian Red Cross Society, used by the URCS's Kherson regional office... Fortunately, no one was injured," the URCS reported on Facebook.

The URCS driver, who was in the vehicle at the time, spotted the drone and managed to take cover inside a nearby building.
