Over the past 24 hours, Russian forces attacked the Kherson region with drones and artillery. Three people were killed and 19 were wounded. Among the wounded were three medical workers.
This was reported by the Kherson Regional State Administration.
According to regional authorities, on July 8, 2026, at approximately 8:00 p.m., Russian forces attacked the village of Krasnosilske in the Beryslav District with a drone. A 72-year-old man who was in the yard of his home was killed in the strike.
On July 9, 2026, at approximately 1:30 a.m., the occupying forces dropped explosives from a drone in Kherson. Two men, aged 53 and 46, who were on the street, were injured. The 53-year-old man suffered an explosive-blast injury and shrapnel wounds to his legs. The 46-year-old man suffered a concussion, an explosive-blast injury, a closed head injury, and shrapnel wounds to his abdomen. After the emergency medical team arrived at the scene, Russian troops launched a second attack on the medics’ vehicle. As a result of the attack, three emergency medical workers were injured—two doctors, aged 38 and 49, and a 50-year-old driver. All of the injured have been hospitalized.
Over the past day, the occupiers damaged a high-rise building and four private homes. They also destroyed a cell tower, a minibus, an ambulance, and private cars.
Due to damage to the overhead wire system in Kherson, trolleybuses are temporarily out of service. Emergency repair work has begun.
Yesterday, 16 people were evacuated from liberated communities in the Kherson region.
The day before, the Russians attacked a minibus with a drone in the Korabelny district of Kherson. A 72-year-old woman from Kherson was killed, and six other people were injured.
