At night, the Russians massively shelled Kherson. As a result of the attack, one district is experiencing a drop in gas supply pressure, and a resident was killed, according to Roman Mrochko, the Head of the Kherson City Military Administration.

He stated that Russians had killed another civilian in Kherson.

"As a result of the artillery shelling, a 42-year-old woman sustained fatal injuries. My condolences to the family and friends of the deceased," Mrochko wrote.

Additionally, the head of the Military Administration reported a drop in gas pressure in the Dnipro district of the city.

"On Thursday, March 13, from 06:00 in the HBK area (Kherson Cotton Plant) from Universytetska/Chornomorska Street (downward) to Zalaegerszeg Street, there will be a temporary reduction in gas supply pressure," Mrochko stated.

The administration urged residents to follow these safety measures:

  • Do not use gas stoves for heating.
  • Do not leave gas appliances unattended.

"Stay updated on information regarding the stabilization of the system," Mrochko added.

The head of the Kherson Military Administration also reported that in the Dnipro district, the occupiers attacked a 60-year-old resident with a drone.

"The man, who was in his car at the time of the attack, sustained shrapnel wounds to his back and lower limbs. He is currently under medical supervision," Mrochko stated.

Russian attacks on Kherson

On the night of March 13, the Russians launched a massive shelling attack on Kherson, starting after midnight.

Earlier, the head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration, Oleksandr Prokudin, noted that Russian forces have recently intensified their attacks on the city. In particular, frequently using FPV drones to target civilian vehicles.

At the beginning of March, terrorists dropped an explosive device from a drone onto a child in the village of Dariivka, near the regional center.

According to Prokudin, to put an end to Russia's drone terror, the front line must be pushed at least 20 kilometers away from Kherson.
