Russian troops shell emergency medical center in Kherson region

The occupiers continue to terrorize Kherson region, striking at civilians and critical infrastructure. Dozens of settlements were damaged and people were wounded over the past day.

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

Over the past 24 hours, from 06:00 on June 3 to 06:00 on June 4, several dozen settlements in the Kherson region came under enemy air, artillery and drone strikes. Among the victims are Kherson, Beryslav, Chornobaivka, Stanislav, Ingulets, Kachkarivka, Oleksandrivka, Dudchany and other communities.

Troops of the aggressor country fired at residential areas and social infrastructure. Three apartment buildings, ten private houses, gas pipelines, and an emergency medical center were damaged.

Eight civilians were injured as a result of hostile shelling.

On June 2-3, at least 12 private houses were damaged by Russian troops. Warehouses, outbuildings, garages and private cars were also damaged. The shelling killed one person and injured 13 others, including one child.

A day earlier, the occupiers attacked three multi-storey buildings, seven private houses, gas pipelines, a service station, warehouses, outbuildings, a garage, agricultural machinery and cars. Three people were killed and 19 people were injured , including two children. At night, air defense forces shot down a Shahed-131/136 attack drone over the region.

Kherson, liberated in November 2022, still lives under the threat of constant attacks. Russian troops, who remain on the left bank of the Dnipro River a few kilometers from the city, regularly shell it with artillery, missiles, and drones.

The UN Commission has already recognized the drone strikes on civilians in Kherson and 16 other localities as war crimes and crimes against humanity. These attacks killed nearly 150 civilians and injured hundreds more.
