Forty-one settlements in the Kherson region suffered from enemy shelling. A 35-year-old man was wounded in the attack. He suffered a concussion as a result of the explosion, and went to the hospital on his own.

This was reported by the head of the Kherson regional military administration Oleksandr Prokudin.

According to him, the Russian military hit critical and social infrastructure; residential areas of the region's settlements, in particular, damaged 8 private houses. The occupants also hit the territory of garden associations.

Yesterday, Antonivka, Molodizhne, Naddnipryanske, Sadove, Stepanivka, Prydniprovske, Inzhenerne, Zelenivka, Bilozerka, Berehove, Veletenske, Kizomys, Stanislav, Shyroka Balka, Sofiyivka, and Dariivka were under enemy drone terror, artillery shelling and air strikes, Mykilske, Poniativka, Tokarivka, Beryslav, Zmiivka, Shlyakhove, Novoraysk, Chervonyi Mayak, Kostyrka, Novooleksandrivka, Zolota Balka, Havrylivka, Tyahynka, Burgunka, Vysoke, Virivka, Mykolaivka, Odradokamyanka, Mylove, Dudchany, Lvov, Sablukivka, Kozatske, Vesele and the city of Kherson.

Vladyslav Voloshyn, a spokesman for the Southern Defense Forces, denied information spread on social media about the alleged landing of enemy subversive reconnaissance groups in Kherson. "The bridge that connects the mainland of the city and the Korabel neighborhood was damaged by the Russians, so it is a logistics issue that is important for the civilian population. It is not important for the defense of the city.

The Department of Civil Defense and Defense Work of the Kherson Regional State Administration bought 5.1 million UAH worth of mesh netting.
