Russian forces bombed residential buildings in Kozatske, Kherson Oblast, killing a woman, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin reported on June 5.

Elsewhere in the oblast, a bombing of Tyahynka damaged a school dormitory building, and strikes against Kizomys with prohibited incendiary ammunition started a fire in an already sown field.

This is the second wave of attacks reported in the oblast by the governor today.

Earlier on June 5, Russia attacked Kherson with multiple launch rocket systems and incendiary ammunition,  killing a 55-year-old security guard, injuring three other civilians, and causing extensive property damage.
