A Russian attack from the left bank of the Dnipro River injured one woman and caused damage in central Kherson, Roman Mrochko, the head of the city's military administration, reported on Oct. 28.

An 80-year-old woman sustained head injuries and a concussion, and was provided with medical treatment.

Mrochko said shelling in the city's Korabelnyi district resulted in multiple explosions and caused fires to break out. The attacks also damaged homes.
