Mrochko said the attacks caused "destruction in the private sector." Information on victims is still being investigated.

The attack comes on the heels of another Russian strike on central Kherson the evening of Oct. 27.  The earlier attack injured seven residents and damaged or destroyed over a dozen houses.
