According to Prokudin, the attack was carried out by mortars.

According to the General Prosecutor’s Office, on April 23, as a result of Russian shelling of two communities in Kherson Oblast, a total of three people were injured.

On April 20, Prokudin  reported that Russian forces shelled the Oblast’s village of Kizomys, killing a 59-year-old man. Two days earlier, nine civilians were injured and one person was killed as a result of the Russian shelling of the territory near Kherson’s central market.

Only on April 10, Russia shelled Kherson Oblast almost 80 times, firing 360 shells.
