Russian attacks in the Kherson region killed three people and wounded 25

Over the past 24 hours, Russian troops have been continuously shelling the right bank of the Kherson region, using artillery, various types of drones, and guided aerial bombs. Kherson and 16 other settlements came under attack, resulting in fatalities and dozens of injuries.

This was reported by the police press service.

According to law enforcement officials, at least 50 structures were damaged as a result of the shelling:

• 21 private homes;
• nine apartment buildings;
• 13 vehicles, including two police patrol cars;
• an administrative building, a high school, a hospital, and a kindergarten.

On the morning of August 29, in the Korabelny district of Kherson, a Russian FPV drone struck a car. A 61-year-old man suffered blast injuries and chest wounds. He made his way to the hospital on his own, but doctors were unable to save him.
