Shelling of Kherson and the region
Following the onset of Russia's full-scale invasion, Kherson was under terrorist control for a period. In the past year's autumn, our military forces liberated the city, along with the entire right-bank part of the Kherson region.
The enemy continues to regularly shell the city and other populated areas within the region.
