Russian forces shelled a cancer clinic in Kherson on the night of December 21. Due to the attack, the hospital building was seriously damaged, Oleksandr Prokudin, Head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration, reports.

"Last night, Russian occupation forces struck a medical institution with aviation, launching two guided aerial bombs," Prokudin noted.

According to the Head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration, neither patients nor medical staff were injured. However, the cancer clinic's building sustained significant damage.

"This is another act of terror aimed at the civilian population. Russia once again demonstrates its nature as an aggressor state, deliberately destroying everything vital for life," emphasized Prokudin.
