The other day, a plant for the production of inflatable boats in Nikolaev was destroyed. At the same time, the invaders are not going to stop and continue to wage a senseless and merciless war against the “windmills”. This time their goal was the Adzhigol lighthouse.
The shelling of the Adzhigol lighthouse
Residents of the Kherson region report that the Russians hit the highest lighthouse in Ukraine with rockets. It is known that the invaders launched 3 rockets into the lighthouse. This was announced by the adviser to the chairman of the Kherson OVA Serhiy Khlan on Facebook.
“Two hits on the base, one on the structure. Paradoxically, it was built by Russian engineer Vladimir Shukhov. The openwork metal structure made the lighthouse extremely aesthetic and attractive for tourists - Ukrposhta at one time even put into circulation a stamp with its image. And it was also as stable as possible, but the barbarism of the Russians can destroy any achievements of mankind, ”said Khlan.
Once again, we can observe a banal act of vandalism. The occupiers do not care where and what to shoot. However, there is nothing to be surprised - if the shelling of residential buildings is the norm, then why should we be surprised by the shelling of the lighthouse.

Zadniy Stanislav-Adzhigolsky lighthouse) is a unique mesh steel hyperboloid lighthouse in the Dnieper estuary opposite the villages of Rybalche, Golopristansky district and Stanislav, Belozersky district, Kherson region, near the southern coast of the Dnieper estuary.
