Update: Olexandr Prokudin, the head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration, revealed that as of now, two civilians were killed. Their identities are currently being confirmed.
"Around 3:40 AM, the Russian army opened fire on residential areas of Kherson. Russians targeted a dormitory building while people were asleep," he wrote.
Additionally, he mentioned that a 61-year-old Kherson resident was hospitalized in critical condition.

Shelling of Kherson
Kherson had been liberated from Russian occupiers in November of the previous year. However, given that parts of the Kherson region remain under the control of Russian forces, the city has been consistently shelled with tanks and artillery. For instance, on September 18, Russian invaders targeted the Ostriv neighborhood in Kherson, resulting in casualties. On September 19, the occupiers fired at a trolleybus in Kherson, leading to the death of a senior police sergeant and injuries to two other passengers.
