The Russian army shelled Kherson and surrounding settlements, hitting homes, infrastructure and cars. Four people were killed and 25 others were wounded, including a child.

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

During the day from April 17 to April 18, Kherson region was once again covered by massive shelling and air strikes. The Russian troops hit residential areas, critical and social infrastructure facilities.

Dozens of cities and villages, including Kherson, came under enemy fire. The consequences of the shelling are tragic: four people were killed and 25 others were injured. A child was among the victims.

The attacks damaged 9 high-rise buildings, 10 private houses, an ambulance and civilian vehicles.

The occupiers continue to terrorize the civilian population - both small villages and the regional center are under fire every day.

From April 13 to 17, Russian troops systematically shelled critical infrastructure, residential areas and social facilities. Dozens of buildings were damaged in those few days: at least 25 high-rise buildings, 50 private houses, gas pipelines, outbuildings, garages, and civilian vehicles, including fire trucks.

The peak of the attacks was on April 16-17, when 20 apartment buildings, 17 private houses and several cars were destroyed. The shelling killed one person and injured 15 others, including a child.

Earlier, on April 15, while delivering humanitarian bread, the headman of one of the villages hit a Russian mine. Although the vehicle was damaged, he managed to get to the village and save the cargo.

Between April 13-14, shelling destroyed at least three multi-storey buildings and 22 private houses. Three people were killed and six others were injured.
