Two residents were brought to the hospital for treatment of injuries after an attack in Kherson Oblast on March 31, the Kherson Oblast Prosecutor's Office reported.

The Russian missile attack on March 31 struck a settlement in the Berlyslav area, according to a post on Facebook by the prosecutor's office.

The injuries were a result of an explosion of a C-300 missile, the office wrote in its post. Private homes and power lines were also damaged in the attack.

A large-scale attack overnight on March 31 targeted Kherson, Lviv, Odesa, and Rivne oblasts. At least two people were killed in Lviv.

Ukraine's military earlier said that there were no casualties following the attack on Kherson Oblast.

"Russian military personnel know exactly where their drones are headed and how long they can stay in the air," President Volodymyr Zelensky said, commenting on the attacks. "The routes are always calculated. This cannot be an accident, a mistake, or the initiative of some lower-level commanders."

It is the third time Russian forces have used pipelines as a tactic, which they first adopted during the Battle of Avdiivka. Back in March, around 100 troops passed through a gas pipeline to reach Ukrainian positions in Sudzha, in Russia’s Kursk Oblast.
