The aggressor's troops attacked 34 settlements in the Kherson region, striking at residential areas, infrastructure and social institutions. Nine people were wounded in the shelling, and air defense systems shot down an enemy drone.

This was reported by Oleksandr Prokudin, head of the Kherson Military District.

During the day from 06:00 on June 18 to 06:00 on June 19, 2025, Russian troops fired on the Kherson region with artillery, aircraft and kamikaze drones. At least 34 settlements came under enemy fire, including Kherson, Beryslav, Chornobaivka, Stanislav, Dariivka and Bilozerka.

The occupants were hitting residential areas, civilian infrastructure and critical facilities. Three high-rise buildings were damaged in Kherson, and ten more private houses were destroyed in other communities.

A local resident, who was wounded during the shelling of her house on June 16, also turned to the same hospital. The 43-year-old woman was at home at the time of the attack and sustained blast trauma, contusion and concussion.
