Russian shelling of Kherson and region
Russian troops are constantly attacking Kherson and the right bank of the region, whose settlements were regained by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the fall of 2022.
For example, on the afternoon of July 11, the Russian occupiers attacked a warehouse in Stanislav from a drone. The explosion damaged a vehicle carrying humanitarian aid, injuring two warehouse workers and two volunteers.
In May, the Russian occupiers shelled the center of Kherson from the air. 19 people were injured, including a teenager. Multi-story buildings were also damaged.
