The Kherson region was subjected to massive attacks by drones, artillery and aircraft, with dozens of settlements under attack. Nine people were injured, housing and infrastructure were destroyed.

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

On April 3-4, the Russian army massively attacked the region with drones, artillery and aircraft. Dozens of settlements came under attack - from Beryslav to Novovorontsovka, from coastal Antonivka to remote villages such as Zmiivka, Tyahynka, Kizomys or Sofiyivka. The enemy spared neither civilians nor infrastructure.

Two apartment buildings, nine private houses, a gas pipeline, outbuildings, a garage and cars of local residents were damaged. Social and critical infrastructure in the region was also shelled.

Nine people were injured as a result of the attacks. Kherson, Beryslav and Bilozersk directions remain in the zone of increased danger - the enemy continues to terrorize the border communities.

On May 2, at least 10 private houses and several cars were damaged by Russian shelling in the Kherson region. One person was killed and five others were injured.

Residential neighborhoods in Antonivka, Beryslav, Bilozerka, Kozatske, Stanislav, Kherson, as well as more than a dozen villages and towns came under fire. A kamikaze drone exploded in the yard of a private house, killing a man.

On May 1, the enemy again targeted residential areas and critical infrastructure. The shelling damaged three multi-storey buildings, 11 private houses, a gas pipeline, a utility building and several cars. Six civilians were injured.

The day before, shelling of social facilities was also recorded: 5 multi-storey buildings, 12 private houses, a gas pipeline, a cell tower and a car were destroyed. In April, the Russians opened fire on Kherson region more than 1900 times, targeting houses, schools, hospitals and roads. The attacks killed 22 people and injured 215 others, including five children.
