A BBC film crew, along with volunteers, came under artillery fire in the Kherson region. The invaders opened fire on journalists and volunteers when they were delivering humanitarian aid.
The BBC team went to the liberated Kherson region with volunteers from Marganets Sergey Starostin and Vladimir Strogan. On the border of Dnepropetrovsk and Kherson regions, volunteers made a stop to put on body armor. According to BBC correspondents, cluster shells are unexploded on both sides of the road, the explosion of one of which can kill the entire convoy.
Enemy drone hunted journalists and volunteers
Before leaving, the volunteers phoned the villages to find out what the situation was. It turned out that the invaders opened fire, so the volunteers headed for Milovo.
But half an hour later we hear distant explosions across the road, the message says.
< p>In Milovoe, several dozen people were waiting for volunteers, who surrounded the minibuses in a tight circle and sorted out help. The villagers said that this was the first aid in three weeks.
The conversation between correspondents and local residents, according to the BBC, was interrupted by volunteers. They heard the “exit” from the Russian positions and were sure that the invaders were working on them.
Less than a minute later we hear an explosion. Sergei (Starostin – Channel 24) estimates that he “flew” a few hundred meters away. We now have seconds to take cover. The peasants dismantling the humanitarian aid scream and sigh, but do not stop, the message says.
Some of the volunteers began to quickly unload minibuses, and some hid against the wall of the house.
“Konstantin (Titarenko – 24 Channel), which lies under the wall next to it, with laughter and obscenity adds: “I'm sorry, but I have to get out of here.” And almost immediately another explosion is heard – now even closer, “the BBC report says.
When journalists and volunteers started to flee the village, they heard two more explosions from behind. Volunteers even spotted the drone, but the journalists couldn't see it at speed.
Due to shelling from Russian positions, the teams decided to split up. The film crew headed away from the Dnieper, behind which the Russian army stands, and the volunteers continued their mission.
Please note. According to the Geneva Convention, shooting civilians is a war crime.
