During the day, reports of civilian fatalities and injuries came only from the Kherson and Kharkiv regions, although the daily report usually includes five or six regions with dozens of victims and casualties.

In the Kherson Oblast, two men aged 45 and 68 were killed at dawn. The Russians targeted them with a drone while they were riding a scooter.

The report also mentions an elderly resident of Beryslav who died on September 22. He may have also died as a result of a targeted drone strike by the Russian military. The UN calls such actions in the Kherson region a crime against humanity, which has killed and injured thousands of peopleі and left entire settlements uninhabitable.

In the Kharkiv region, September 25 passed without casualties, but two people were injured. One of them is a woman from the village of Bugaivka, who survived a Russian strike with guided aerial bombs. Doctors say she is in serious condition.

Two more people were injured in the Kupiansk District, which is constantly under Russian attack.

The day before, the Russian army also shelled the Dnipropetrovsk, Chernihiv, Donetsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions, but there, the consequences were limited to various types of destruction.
