Also, a man born in 1967 died in Stanislav, who had come under a combined enemy attack the day before. His wounds were fatal.

As Prokudin previously reported, on April 19 at about 18:00 in the Dniprovsky district of Kherson, seven apartments in a high-rise building caught fire due to the impact of eight enemy FPV drones, thus violating the "Easter truce."

At 19:05, a Russian drone hit a civilian car in Urozhayne. An hour later, another drone attacked the village. At 19:12, an enemy FPV drone struck Stanislav.

On April 18, the Russian army shelled residential areas in Kherson region. Three high-rise buildings and five private houses were damaged. The occupiers also destroyed a hangar, agricultural machinery and several private cars. Nine people were wounded in the shelling.

In total, from April 16 to 17, Russian troops conducted a series of attacks on peaceful towns and villages in the Kherson region. At least 20 multi-story buildings, 17 private houses, gas pipelines, an outbuilding, an ambulance and civilian vehicles were damaged. One person was killed and 15 others were injured.
