Dozens of settlements came under enemy fire. The enemy shelled 20 settlements of the region with artillery, dropped bombs and attacked with drones, including Kherson, Antonivka, Beryslav, Kizomys, Komyshany and others.

The occupiers targeted residential areas. In several villages, private cars were destroyed, three houses were damaged, one of which was a multi-storey building.

The strikes damaged at least three high-rise buildings, nine private houses, and destroyed a gas pipeline, a cell tower, a warehouse, and a car. Six people were injured.

The shelling between May 6 and May 7 killed two civilians and injured six others of varying severity.

These attacks were a continuation of the massive terror that continued over the weekend. Thus, on the night of May 4-5, Russian troops attacked Kherson district with ballistic missiles.
