1 min read

Russian forces shelled the village of Antonivka, a northeastern suburb of Kherson, killing a 50-year-old man, Kherson Oblast Governor Oleksandr Prokudin reported on Oct. 8.

That same day Governor Prokudin reported that a Russian attack on the village of Kindyika in Kherson Oblast injured an 11-year-old girl. Three elderly women were already wounded in a shelling on the same village earlier that day.

Russian shelling has wounded 16 people, including a 9-month-old baby, in Kherson Oblast, Prokudin said.

Partially occupied Kherson Oblast suffers regular Russian attacks as the invading troops continue to hold the region's left-bank side of the Dnipro River.

On Oct. 5, a Russian strike against Beryslav in Kherson Oblast damaged a hospital and injured two medical workers.
