As of 7 p.m. local time, two female civilians are confirmed to have been wounded in Russian attacks against Kherson on Nov. 14, reported Roman Mrochko, the head of the city's military administration.

Russian forces struck the city’s Korabelnyi district in the afternoon, leaving a 61-year-old woman with a light hand injury, according to Mrochko.

She was reportedly hospitalized in stable condition.

Kherson Oblast Governor Oleksandr Prokudin also reported on the morning strike, saying Russian forces targeted a residential area, damaging people’s homes.

When asked about the Ukraine-Russia talks, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov replied that communication channels have been established and exist, but as of now, "it’s more accurate to say there is a pause" in dialogue.
