Over the past day, Russians shelled 13 settlements in Kherson region, including Kherson and nearby villages. The attacks killed three civilians and wounded three others.

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

Over the past day, Russian troops shelled and carried out air strikes on 13 settlements in Kherson region, including the city of Kherson and 12 villages and towns: Antonivka, Sadove, Prydniprovske, Vysoontsi, Poniativka, Vysoke, Odradokamyanka, Shlyakhove, Zolota Balka, Burgunka, Mykilske, and Chervonyi Mayak.

The occupants targeted residential areas and shops. The attacks killed three people and injured three others.

From April 19 to April 20, Russian troops did not stop shelling Kherson region, targeting residential areas. At least 4 multi-storey buildings, 19 private houses, outbuildings, gas pipelines, garages and cars were damaged. Four people were injured in the shelling, and a man died in Stanislav, wounded by a combination of enemy strikes. A 65-year-old man in Antonivka also sustained fatal injuries.

The day before, a 16-year-old boy who was seriously wounded during a Russian air strike on the central district of Kherson on April 17 died in hospital.

Kherson continues to be under continuous attack by Russian troops, who are shelling the city from the left bank of the Dnipro River. In 2024, the occupiers struck with dozens of missiles, drones, and bombs, and the undermining of the Kakhovka Dam caused widespread destruction in the region.
