Russian military forces carried out attacks in Ukraine's Kherson region, causing significant damage to infrastructure and civilian casualties. The assault resulted in six civilians being wounded. The strikes damaged four apartment buildings, three private houses, a farm, a gas station, and several private vehicles.
