Local authorities: Russian strikes on Kherson kill one

One person was killed and one was injured by today’s missile strikes on Ukraine’s Kherson, says Yaroslav Yanushevich, the local governor.

“A man, 36, was killed inside his car. A woman, 70, was wounded and admitted to hospital. She is now receiving the required medical aid,” he wrote.

Yanushevich says Russia used multiple rocket launchers and targeted one of the city’s quarters. The strike also damaged residential buildings, gas pipes, and overhead wires, says the regional prosecutor’s office.

Ukraine’s army regained control over Kherson on 11 November. The Russian army reported leaving the city earlier, following an order from the country’s Defence Minister Shoigu.

Ukraine’s bodies of power resumed operation in Kherson the following day. Around 200 policemen started working in Kherson back then, setting up security checkpoints around the city and taking records of the crimes committed by Russian occupation “authorities.”
