Details: Among the animals killed were horses named Malakhita, Ra Nazran, Bosfor and Mak-Tum, some of which were due to compete in the Ukrainian Championship. Two horses – Holi and Manuel – survived.

Hordiienko said the stable was damaged but remained relatively intact: the building was warped, and its doors and windows were blown out.

“Shahed drones hit the paddocks of the Endurance Horse Sport Club. Apparently, this was also a military facility…” she added
