This was stated by Andriy Kovanyi, representative of the Main Office of the National Police in the Kherson region, at a briefing at Ukraine-Ukrinform Media Center.

"If we take Kherson into account, they are actually targeting residential areas, trying to hit critical infrastructure, but the whole city suffers. Unfortunately, civilians are injured and killed almost every day. In total, since the de-occupation investigators have confirmed the death of 332 civilians, 17 of them are children, another 74 people have not been identified," said Kovanyi.

Shelling of the Kherson region has not stopped since the beginning of hostilities in the region.

  • In Kherson region police found 7 torture chambers and 8 places of detention where more than 300 people were kept in one isolator.
