According to the investigation, on October 7, at about 10:40 a.m., the Russian army launched an air strike on Kherson. Previously, the enemy fired four guided aerial bombs at the regional center, which hit civilian objects. The blast waves damaged at least six high-rise buildings.

Also, according to the investigation, on October 6, at about 22:30, the Russian army shelled the Dniprovsky district of Kherson once again. A 61-year-old woman sustained injuries incompatible with life.

Prosecutors, together with law enforcement agencies, are taking all possible measures to document war crimes committed by representatives of the Russian armed forces.

According to the Kherson MVA, during the air strike on the city, two UAVs hit the coastal zone of the Central (Tavrichesky) district, two - in the northern part.

Earlier it was reported that five civilians were injured in the right-bank part of Kherson region on October 6 as a result of Russian aggression.
