Russia launched an attack against the village of Stanislav in Kherson Oblast on March 2, killing a 54-year-old man on the street, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin reported.

Stanislav, with a pre-war population of almost 5,000, lies at the shores of the Dniprovska Gulf, roughly 35 kilometers west of Kherson.
