Curfew time extended in Kherson region

A regular meeting of the Kherson Regional Defense Council was held, during which it was decided to change the curfew time, create special commissions and purchase new shelters.

This was reported by the head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration Oleksandr Prokudin.

The official said in a post that three main issues were considered during the meeting of the Council: mobilization and military qualification commission, protection of the population and extension of the curfew in the region.

According to Prokudin, they discussed the course of the mobilization campaign and the work of military medical commissions. According to the government's decision, it is necessary to audit "critical" enterprises that have the right to reserve employees, so special commissions will be set up in the region, which will include representatives of law enforcement agencies.

The meeting also decided to extend the curfew in the region. Starting October 15, it will last from 20:00 to 06:00. This is due to a decrease in daylight hours and public safety.

During the curfew, it is forbidden to be on the street and in other public places, as well as to travel by transport or on foot. If a person is on the street during the prohibited time, the curfew patrol has the right to detain him or her and check for documents, as well as to establish the reason for the curfew violation.

The official added that another important issue is protecting the population from enemy attacks. The decision was made to allow the Kherson MVA to purchase the necessary services for engineering design, overhaul and maintenance of protective structures owned by condominiums. Ten street shelters will also be purchased, and the possibility of building shelters in Kherson and Beryslav districts was considered.

To provide drinking water to the residents of Novoraysk and Chervonyi Mayak, the company will also procure eight artesian wells.
