Quote: "As of this hour, there are 17 wounded and 3 dead just in Kherson. Another man was injured in Russian strikes on Beryslav."

Details: According to Prokudin, the youngest victim is 16 years old. The girl was taken to hospital in serious condition. One dead and six injured are employees of the communal services, another five are volunteers.

Prokudin said that they came under Russian fire when they were helping Kherson residents deal with the aftermath of shelling and flooding.

Quote: "This intensity of shelling is caused by the rotation of enemy troops on the left bank. Russia replenished its forces, which were previously defeated by our Armed Forces of Ukraine. Those will be destroyed too, but we have to wait a little.

Dear residents of Kherson, please, in the next few days be as careful as possible. These terrorists are covering the whole city with fire, and shelling will continue."
