During the day, the settlements of the Kherson region were under intense attack by Russian troops. The enemy used attack drones, aircraft and artillery, covering both frontline villages and the city of Kherson.

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

Dozens of settlements came under fire, including Antonivka, Chornobaivka, Stanislav, Berislav, Novoraysk, Kizomys, Zmiivka, Osokorivka and others, as well as the regional center.

The shelling damaged critical and social infrastructure. In particular, three multi-storey buildings and five private houses were destroyed or damaged.

In addition, the occupiers destroyed or damaged a cell tower, a shop, an administrative building, shuttle buses, an ambulance, agricultural machinery, and private cars.

Two people died as a result of Russian aggression. Another 26 people were injured, including three children.

Local authorities are once again calling on residents of dangerous areas to evacuate to safer regions.

As a reminder, on May 1, the Russian military attacked a cyclist with a drone in the Dniprovsky district of Kherson.
A 65-year-old man was fatally wounded and died on the spot.

On April 30, at about 10:30 a.m., an enemy drone attacked a public transport stop in Kherson. As a result of the attack, a man was killed on the spot, who is currently being identified.

Recently, the occupiers dropped explosives from a drone on a garbage truck. An employee of a utility company was injured as a result of the strike.

Earlier, Russian troops attacked a taxi in the Dniprovsky district of Kherson. The attack on civilian transport took place at noon, when passengers were on the bus. At least ten people were injured in the attack, including a 17-year-old teenager.

In addition, on March 9, Russians once again fired at settlements in the Kherson region. The attacks killed one person and injured eight others. The Russian military fired at civilian infrastructure with artillery, mortars, multiple launch rocket systems, and various types of UAVs.
