Operational Command South (OC South) reported this. 

The incident occurred in the Beryslav district. The men ignored a ban from the State Emergency Service and went on a tractor to do agricultural work in a field that had not yet been mined. As a result of the mine explosion, two Ukrainians were killed.

In Kherson, near the river port, one of the local residents came across a tripwire on the territory of his summer cottage. He was hospitalized with severe injuries.

Russian shelling injures 5 civilians

“The enemy continues to insidiously shell civilian settlements on the right bank. During the night and the first half of the day, they made more than 30 attacks, as a result of which 5 civilians were injured, private and apartment buildings, a car wash and cars, municipal infrastructure and shops were damaged. The enemy fired mortars at the Dnipro-Buh estuary from the Kinburn Spit. No losses or damage were reported,” the report says.

There are 8 Kalibrs in the Black Sea

The Russian naval grouping in the Black Sea consists of 9 ships, including 1 surface-to-air missile carrier armed with 8 Kalibr missiles. The Russians are at a missile-safe distance from the Ukrainian-controlled coast.

“The enemy continues aerial reconnaissance, which means that missile strikes, both massive and targeted, are not excluded. Do not neglect security measures, heed air raid warnings, do not expose yourself to mine danger either on land, where specialists have not yet worked after de-occupation, or in the coastal zone and on the coast, where stormy seas can carry out a sea mine. Be vigilant and conscious,” the statement says.
