The official said that during the shelling of the region, the Russian occupiers hit cultural institutions, cell towers and a factory; residential areas of the region's settlements, including 5 high-rise buildings and 11 private houses. The occupiers also damaged warehouses, garages and private cars.

In Kherson, restoration work was carried out on the power grids damaged by enemy shelling. As a result, there were power outages in different parts of the city. Also, due to the emergency shutdown, there was no public transportation in Kherson. It took more than two hours to restore traffic, but the damage to the power grid was much more complicated. The trolleybuses resumed running only at the end of the day.
