Over the past 24 hours, Russians attacked at least 34 settlements in the Kherson region. The shelling damaged houses, vehicles and outbuildings, and 11 civilians were injured.

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

From June 19 to June 20, 2025, the Kherson region was again subjected to massive attacks by Russian troops. During the day, at least 34 settlements in the region came under enemy fire. Among them are Bilozerka, Beryslav, Dariivka, Ingulets, Novovorontsovka, and Kachkarivka. The occupants used drones, artillery and aircraft.

Residential areas and social infrastructure facilities were hit. The shelling damaged at least 17 private houses, as well as destroyed outbuildings, a public bus and several private cars.

As a result of hostile aggression, 11 civilians were injured. The enemy is targeting peaceful villages and towns in the region, causing damage to civilians and civilian objects.

During the day on June 18-19, Russian troops attacked 34 settlements in the Kherson region. Three high-rise buildings were damaged in Kherson, and ten private houses were destroyed in other communities. There were also hits to a gas pipeline, an ambulance station, a fire station, and civilian cars.

Nine people sustained injuries of varying severity as a result of the shelling. During the night attack, air defense forces destroyed one Shahed kamikaze drone. Around 18:00, an enemy drone attacked a car in the Korabelny district of Kherson. A resident of Bilozerka also needed help after a shell exploded near his house at night.

The 64-year-old man suffered blast trauma, contusion and concussion. In Beryslav, the occupants dropped explosives from a drone on a 57-year-old woman, who sustained chest injuries, contusion and a rib fracture. Two more residents of Kherson - a 48-year-old man and a 70-year-old woman - sustained mine-blast injuries and leg wounds.

Two men, aged 53 and 40, were also injured by explosives dropped from a drone. The day before, 12 private houses, outbuildings, garages and cars were damaged. Two people were killed and 34 others wounded as a result of the enemy attacks.

In the right-bank Kherson region, Russian shelling has already destroyed more than 33,000 private houses and 1,500 multi-storey buildings. The occupiers are targeting residential buildings - some of them have been hit several times.
