71-year-old civilian fisherman deliberately killed by Russian troops in Nikopol district

This was reported by the head of Nikopol district administration, Yevhen Yevtushenko.

"Yesterday, Russians killed a civilian resident of the Nikopol district again. The man was seventy-one years old, he was not a military man and in no way threatened the occupiers on the opposite bank of the former reservoir," he wrote.

According to him, several shells hit near the fisherman, and several more hit the old part of the city. The rescuers found a man with a fishing rod in his hand, a bicycle next to him and a caught fish.

Yevtushenko said that Russian soldiers saw the fisherman on the shore and deliberately started shelling. The man, named Mykola, died instantly from a fragment of Russian ammunition.

"By publishing this photo and post, I emphasize once again that any visit to the shore or to the water's edge may be the last in your life. Don't put your lives in danger!" the head called.
