"In Kherson, the occupiers targeted a residential building with fire. A 71-year-old man was injured and hospitalized," the State Administration added.
Shelling of Kherson and the region
Kherson was under Russian control since the beginning of the full-scale war. However, in the fall of last year, the Ukrainian Armed Forces liberated the city along with the entire right-bank part of the Kherson region.
Nevertheless, the occupiers continue to shell the city and other settlements in the region regularly.
Today, the head of the Kherson Regional State Administration, Oleksandr Prokudin, stated that the Russian occupiers were striking the center of Kherson. Also, today, the occupiers shelled the Beryslav district in the Kherson region. A man was killed as a result of the attack.
