Duing the previous attack on Jan. 9, Kherson Oblast Yaroslav Yanushevych reported that Russian forces hit a residential area in Kherson with artillery, killing one person and injuring one.

Russian troops had struck Kherson Oblast 77 times over the previous 24 hours with artillery, multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS), and mortars, wounding three people.
