The Ukrainian military attacked civilians using the US-supplied HIMARS rocket launcher, remarked a local official. Struck was Novaya Kakhovka, which is a city located in Russian controlled Kherson region that was freed from the Azov and Nationalist battalions.

US-Supplied Arms Allegedly Target Civilians, Not Military 

Chief of the military-civilian administration, Vladimir Leontyev, told an outlet that the result of the attack left many peopled hurt and hundreds were homeless, reported RT.

Leontyev added that using the American weapons system was a crime against the affected civilians. He recalled the dreadful similarities of the United States' atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. Today, almost the same thing happened to us, per Tass. 

The civilian population has already suffered casualties, there have been injuries, scores of people are now homeless, and dozens of homes have been destroyed. People keep being admitted to hospitals with dozens upon dozens of injuries which is very shocking.

Kirill Stremousov, the deputy head of the regional administration, told RIA Novosti that Ukrainian forces used American HIMARS rocket launchers with excellent precision to launch a missile attack on Novaya Kakhovka, noted The Good Word News.

Klan stated that despite the destruction caused by the US HIMARS, Ukraine sympathizers are happy the Ukrainian military forces are close.

The Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power facility was not affected, however, the surrounding market, hospital, and residential structures were, according to sources cited by the Russian news agencies RIA Novosti and TASS, respectively.

Furthermore, The information that a sizable humanitarian hub was situated just a few meters from the missile strike and that a youngster with a disability remained on duty there for the whole night has already been categorically established.

However, the psychological impact these explosions intend to have won't materialize. First and foremost, this is a crime against the civilian people. Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, is a criminal, according to Leontyev.

He called the order to attack civilians in a city a crime, an apparent crime that has no statute of limitations. It is a tragedy, as he called it, and an attack is unforgivable.

The Kherson region's regional hub, Novaya Kakhovka, was taken over by Russia on February 24, the first day of their offensive in Ukraine. Until recently, no information in public sources indicated that saltpeter warehouses existed in the city.

Starting on February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the special operation after he acknowledged the DPR and LPR, which was supposed to be done by the Minsk agreement.

Unfortunately, Kyiv refused to follow the agreement and instead waged war on Donbas separatists. The information came that Azov and Nationalist battalions would engage in an offensive to recapture Donetsk and Lugansk. Zelensky denied it, as the weapons from the west are used on civilians.

According to officials, the Ukrainian Military used the US HIMARS to attack Novaya Kakhovka with it and cause misery and devastation, like Hiroshima.
