Burgunka is located 60 kilometers northeast of Kherson, close to the Dnieper River, which serves as a demarcation of territories controlled by Ukraine and occupied by the Russian army.

“Three people died at the scene: a father, a mother and an uncle. Four other people were injured: a grandmother, an adult, a girl (…) and a boy”, said the regional administration.

Russian firing in the Kherson region has remained frequent since the withdrawal of Russian troops from the main city of the same name in mid-November.
