Over the past 24 hours, Russian troops attacked Kherson and dozens of settlements in the region with airstrikes, artillery, and drones. Six people were injured as a result of the Russian aggression.
This was reported by Oleksandr Prokudin, head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration.
Russian forces targeted critical and social infrastructure as well as residential neighborhoods. In the region, 11 high-rise buildings and 15 private homes were damaged, along with a cell tower, a farm building, and private vehicles. Six people were injured.
Yaroslav Shanko, head of the Kherson City Military Administration, provided a separate update on the consequences of the attacks in the Kherson community .
According to him, private homes, high-rise buildings, a medical facility, civilian vehicles, and non-residential structures were damaged in the community.
According to the Kherson Military Administration, there was a very high level of Russian drone activity in the community over the past 24 hours. The occupiers used FPV drones, “Molniya”-type strike UAVs, and “Mavic”-type reconnaissance drones. There was also a threat of the use of tactical aircraft and long-range strike drones such as the “Shahed/Gerbera.”
“Shahed/Gerbera” drones attacked critical infrastructure facilities in the Central and Korabelny districts of Kherson. Four Kherson residents were injured by Russian drones—two in the Central district, and one each in the Korabelny and Dniprovsky districts.
Following the latest shelling in Kherson, power outages also occurred. Experts are assessing the extent of the damage and determining the scope of emergency repair work.
The city’s military administration also warned that Russian troops are intensifyingtheir “free-for-all” targeting of vehicles using drones, particularly fiber-optic-controlled UAVs. Areas where vehicles congregate—near supermarkets, markets, and gas stations—remain particularly dangerous.
Residents of the Kherson community are urged to respond to air raid alerts, avoid open areas, and be especially cautious at bus stops, near stores, gas stations, and parking lots.
As a reminder, yesterday the occupiers attacked one of the stores in Kherson’s Central District. A 36-year-old woman was injured in the attack.
