According to the investigation, the occupier committed a war crime on the evening of November 1, 2022. He shot the captain of the tugboat RBT-1 "Rydsa" with automatic weapons.
The civilian vessel was transporting passengers from Kherson to Hola Prystan. The occupier opened targeted fire on people.
The tugboat captain received a bullet wound to the head and died on the spot. Other passengers of the vessel were not injured.
