According to the My Ukraina (We Are Ukraine) TV channel, Liliia Kandybka was killed in the attack as well.

At the time of the attack, she was walking in the park with her dog, a German spitz named Mazhor. "The woman was found in hospital an hour later. Unfortunately, her heart failed," the statement said.

In total, nine women were killed by the Russian missile.

A 74-year-old man who was injured by the strike died in hospital. In addition, rescue workers managed to save two women who had been trapped under the rubble for more than 7 hours. They called 101 [the emergency number for firefighters in Ukraine - ed.] on their own and reported their location.

The women were taken to hospital. As reported earlier, a Russian missile also killed a 48-year-old nurse Olena Kukarskykh. The woman was from the temporarily occupied Nova Kakhovka, Kherson Oblast.

In 1995, Olena graduated from Zaporizhzhia Medical School and got a job at the Nova Kakhovka City Hospital. She held various positions. For many years, Olena worked with difficult patients in the TB department.

She had been a nurse at a children's clinic at the time of the attack. "She went through her earthly journey with kindness in her heart for people, with love for her work, always coming to the rescue at the right time. The memory of everyone who knew her will forever remember her as a sincere and friendly person, a professional in her field!" wrote the staff of the Nova Kakhovka City Hospital.
