Aftermath of Russian attacks on Kherson and its suburbs

The Russians attacked Kherson and its suburbs with drones, causing destruction and resulting in one death and several injuries.

According to Ukrinform, Yaroslav Shanko, head of the Kherson City Military Administration, reported this on Facebook.

“Since yesterday, Russian occupiers have attacked the Central district several times with Molniya-type drones. They were particularly active at night,” wrote the head of the Kherson City Military Administration, posting a video of the incident.

They targeted residential areas—damaging private homes, high-rise buildings, a public transportation stop, and more.

As noted, there were no fatalities or injuries.

Shanko reported that the enemy is constantly attacking the village of Zelenivka with various types of drones. As a result of the latest strikes, at least five private houses, a company’s premises, and power lines were damaged. No reports of injuries have been received.
