Governor Yaroslav Yanushevych reported that Russian forces shelled Kherson Oblast 54 times over the past day, killing one person and wounding two, including a child. Residential buildings, a garage, and an educational institution were hit in the recently liberated Kherson, while eight nearby villages also came under fire, the official added. Many residents who survived the Russian occupation are now forced to flee their homes due to bombardment fears. Between Nov. 20-25, Russian shelling of Kherson killed 15 people, including a child, and wounded 35, according to Kherson City Council Head Halyna Luhova. The ramped-up shelling comes amid Ukraine’s ongoing efforts to restore utilities in the recently liberated southern territories on the west bank of the Dnipro River. Residents have been living in dire conditions without electricity, heat, and water since early November.
