Ukraine's Armed Forces liberated Kherson and other regional settlements on the Dnipro River's west bank in November 2022.

Russian forces were pushed to the east bank, from where they have since been firing at the liberated territories, regularly resulting in civilian deaths and injuries.

A Russian strike against the city of Kherson on Nov. 4 injured three women, according to local officials.

Over the previous day, Russian attacks against the southern region wounded five more people, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin reported.
