According to Yermak, two people were killed and one wounded.

Later, Oleksandr Prokudin, head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration, clarified that the Russian troops had been ruthlessly firing on the center of Kherson since early morning and posted a video of the consequences of the Russian attack. 

"The invaders killed two people at this spot. The doctors who quickly arrived at the scene could only confirm the death of the Kherson residents," Prokudin wrote, adding that a 59-year-old man was also injured. He was hospitalized.

According to the regional prosecutor's office, the Russian army shelled the center of Kherson with artillery killing a 48-year-old man and a woman. They were being identified. 

It is noted that all the victims were on the street at the time of the Russian attack.

In addition, one of the medical institutions in Kherson was hit. Two doctors were lightly wounded as a result of an attack. They received the necessary medical care on the spot.

  • A day earlier, Russia attacked a kindergarten in Kherson, injuring a person and damaging the building of the preschool education institution. Later, the invaders shelled two more villages in the Kherson region, killing a man and injuring two others.
