On April 4-5, Russian troops continued to attack the Kherson region. More than 30 settlements, including Kherson itself, came under enemy fire and air strikes. Among the settlements shelled were Antonivka, Bilozerka, Beryslav, Vesele, Kachkarivka, Zmiivka, Mykilske, Kizomys, Stanislav and many others.

The Russian shelling was aimed not only at the positions of the Ukrainian military, but also at residential areas and critical and social infrastructure. At least 5 high-rise buildings, 9 private houses, a shop and several cars were damaged. Five civilians were injured as a result of the attacks.

In addition, at night, the Air Defense Forces destroyed 3 enemy Shahed-131/136 kamikaze drones over the territory of the region.

According to the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, on April 4, Russians attacked Kherson CHP with an FPV drone.
