Russian attacks in Kherson leave 4 dead, 9 wounded

Governor of Ukraine’s Kherson region Oleksandr Prokudin has said that Russian attacks in Kherson killed four civilians and injured nine others over the past day.

The region was attacked 88 times over the past day, with targets including medical facilities, residential areas, and educational institutions. One of those injured is a child, Prokudin said, according to The Kyiv Independent.

Prokudin reported on December 23 that a Russian drone attack killed a 69-year-old person in the village of Stanislav. Early on December 24, he said that a couple in their 80s had been killed after a Russian artillery shell hit a residential building.

The body of a dead man was discovered in central Kherson after rubble was cleared, whose identity is being established, Prokudin said.

An attack on the evening of December 23 caused fires to break out in Kherson, which Prokudin said was due to a gas line being hit.

Russia regularly attacks Kherson from the east of the Dnipro, after Ukrainian forces liberated the city in November 2022.
