Russia drops two guided air bombs on Kherson region, kills three

Two guided air bombs were dropped by Russia in the Kherson region near the locality of Veletenske, says Andriy Yermak, head of Ukraine’s Presidential Office. Three people were killed and five were injured.

Oleksandr Prokudin, the local governor, says Veletenske and Kyzomys were under attack that damaged residential buildings and transport. A man, 28, was killed in Veletenske, and four villagers were injured.

Veletenske is located on the eastern (Russia-controlled) bank of the Dnipro river 15 km from Kherson.

In recent days, the intensity of Russian shelling has increased. The Russian military launched a massive missile attack on Pavlograd earlier, which injured 34 people. Among the victims were five children.

The Kherson and Dnipro regions also suffered shelling; two people were killed. As a result of the strike, six high-rise buildings and six private houses were damaged, as well as outbuildings, two gas pipelines, and a power line.
