Russian attacks on Kherson Oblast killed four people and injured five others between June 23 and 24, local officials reported.
Russian forces launched drone and artillery strikes on dozens of settlements across the region, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin said on Telegram.
Twenty-nine settlements were affected, including the regional capital, Kherson, which shares the same name as the oblast.
The strikes damaged critical infrastructure and residential areas, including four private houses. A shop and several private vehicles were also reportedly damaged.
Kherson Oblast, located in southern Ukraine just north of Russian-occupied Crimea, has been repeatedly targeted by Russian forces since the start of the full-scale invasion.
The back office is being investigated by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) as part of the Energoatom case, the biggest corruption investigation during President Volodymyr Zelensky's presidency.
The Russian attack on Ternopil killed at least 28 people, including three children, and injured 94 others, among them 18 children, according to Ukraine's Emergency Service.
Russian forces launched an overnight attack on the city of Zaporizhzhia on Nov. 20-21, killing five people and wounding eight others, local officials said.
Ukraine's General Staff denied claims made by the chief of the General Staff of the Russian army, Valery Gerasimov, that Russian forces have captured the city of Kupiansk on Nov. 20.
During a joint press conference with Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson on Nov. 19, Merz said that Germany is "doing everything possible" to equip Ukrainian army with long-range weapon systems.
