The premises of Suspilne Kherson were damaged in the Russian artillery strike on 7 October. There were no casualties, Suspilne Kherson reports.
The branch manager Mykhailo Svarychevskyi said that they would contact the police regarding the incident.
“Due to the buildings being located in a dangerous area of the city (red zone), they are essentially on lockdown and are not used by the team. There are no casualties. We see damage to the roofs, window blocks, and the buildings’ facades. We will contact law enforcers to record the impact of this crime by the Russian Federation,” he said.
The broadcaster reports that their Kherson neam continues to work as usual, informing their viewers and listeners of the regional and national news.
As reported earlier, Vadym Khomenko, chief engineer at Suspilne Kherson, was injured in a Russian “petal mine” explosion in downtown Kherson on 22 September 2025. He suffered severe injuries to his leg but was quickly hospitalised and had surgery thanks to his colleagues’ prompt action; his condition is now stable. It was later reported that the explosion happened on Suspilne Kherson premises, which employees (who mostly work remotely) visit every now and then as the equipment remains in the office. The Russian troops plant mines on the Suspilne Kherson premises by dropping anti-personnel mines such as “petals” from drones. This was reported following a SES inspection, which revealed several more mines on the broadcaster’s premises. Even though the office was cleared of mines after the de-occupation, new mines suggest a deliberate attack on media infrastructure. The office was temporarily shut down in response for safety reasons and Suspilne stepped up the protection of their staff in the regions near the front line.
