The Kherson Regional Military Administration reported that in the morning, Russian troops attacked Antonivka with a drone. A 47-year-old woman was injured, suffering shrapnel wounds to her forearm, legs, and lower back. She was hospitalized, and her condition is considered moderate.

Around 09:00, another drone attack in Kherson injured a 57-year-old woman with an explosive wound and shrapnel to her leg.

Later, a 62-year-old man was hospitalized after another drone attack, suffering a mine blast injury and a shoulder wound.

The head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration, Roman Mrochkо, reported that as a result of the Russian shelling of the Dniprovskyi district in Kherson, the power grid was damaged.

"The area is partially without electricity – about 22,900 meter points are without power. Emergency restoration works are already underway," Mrochkо stated.

Later, the head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration reported that the heat supply networks in the Dniprovskyi district of the city were also damaged due to the Russian attack. Around 20 apartment buildings are left without heating.

"Despite the danger, our specialists are working to eliminate the consequences of Russian terror," Mrochkо added.

  • On January 10, Russia attacked Ukraine with 72 Shahed strike drones, 33 of which were destroyed by the Defence Forces.
