Details: Places with a large number of burned remains of bodies were repeatedly found on the outskirts of occupied Kherson. Damage from the fire makes it impossible to identify the dead.

According to the Defence Ministry, first an explosion was heard at the scene of the event, after which a fire broke out. Firefighters were not allowed to extinguish the fire.

Quote from the Chief Intelligence Directorate: "These bodies are brought by trucks from the local pre-trial detention centre. In order to hide the fact that they are deliberately burning bodies, the representatives of the occupying army are trying to pass it off as the consequences of artillery shelling and ensuing fires."

Details: The Intelligence Directorate added that the search for medical workers continues in occupied Kherson, because the doctors who are still in the city refuse to cooperate with the enemy. There is a particular shortage of anaesthesiologists.

Background: The Russians are planning to hold "referendums" on the creation of what they refer to as "republics" in the occupied territories of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts.

In the Kherson region, because of the lack of money, the population has begun to resort to bartering in the shops.
