Russian attacks across settlements in Kherson Oblast have killed two people and wounded 25, including three children, over the past 24 hours.

Russian troops attacked residential areas in Kherson Oblast 75 times on June 16, firing 314 projectiles from artillery, mortars, drones, and Grad multiple rocket launchers reported the Kherson Oblast State Administration.

According to Yermak, a medical facility, a kindergarten, a supermarket, residential buildings, cars, and power lines were damaged in the attack.
