Russian shelling of Kherson
Russian forces continue to shell Kherson daily, using artillery, drones, and other weapons. The attacks target civilians who have no connection to "military infrastructure."
For example, during the day on Sunday, June 29, Russian troops struck Kherson's Central District. One person was killed and another was injured.
Earlier, on June 26, Russian drones deliberately attacked a residential area in the Korabelnyi District. Around ten homes caught fire simultaneously.
