Over the past 24 hours, Russians shelled more than two dozen settlements in Kherson region using artillery and drones. At least six civilians were injured and dozens of houses and vehicles were destroyed.

This was reported by the press service of the National Police of Ukraine.

Russian troops continue massive shelling of Kherson region - Kherson and Beryslav districts and de-occupied villages of Kakhovka district remain under fire. Artillery, multiple launch rocket systems, attack drones and FPVs are used in the attacks.

Over the past day, dozens of settlements have been affected, including Kherson, Bilozerka, Antonivka, Ingulets, Chornobaivka, Zymivnyk, Novokaira, Shlyakhove, Zorivka, Sadove, Kizomys, Honcharne, Prydniprovske, Tyahyntsi, Burgunka and others. The attacks damaged at least 17 private houses, four cars and a bus.

In Novooleksandrivka, an FPV drone hit a cultural center that had already been damaged earlier. In Shlyakhove, a drone destroyed a bus, and in Zorivka, a private house. In Romashkove, a house was also destroyed by a drone attack.

Novokaira and Inhulets came under shelling, and several houses were damaged in each of the settlements. In Chornobaivka, a dead wood fire started after a UAV strike.

In Bilozerka, Russians dropped explosives from a drone on a car: an employee of the village military administration was injured and hospitalized with a mine-blast injury. In the Korabelny district of Kherson, four people were injured in shelling and drone attacks, including an 84-year-old woman who was hospitalized with multiple injuries.

In the suburb of Antonivka, shelling continued almost around the clock. In the Korabel neighborhood, one of the drones hit a car - two men were injured and taken to the hospital.

Two more Kherson residents who had been injured the day before also sought help: one man broke his leg running away from the drone, and another, a 70-year-old woman, received a shrapnel wound. Both men lived in Korabel.

Emergency services were working at the sites of the strikes, recording the consequences of the attacks. During the day, the police received 407 calls from citizens and opened 18 proceedings under the article War Crimes.

In the right-bank part of Kherson region, more than 33,000 private houses and 1,500 apartment buildings were destroyed as a result of shelling by Russian troops. Thanks to the initiative of Side by Side and the support of international partners, almost 6,000 damaged homes have been restored in the region.
