The deliberate targeting of residential areas resulted in substantial damage to private properties, with nine houses reported as significantly damaged.

Damages and Drone Interception

In addition to the residential damages, critical infrastructure facilities have not been spared. Reports indicate that a post office, a warehouse, and a vehicle were also hit in these assaults.

Despite the severe circumstances, Ukrainian air defense systems were actively engaged, intercepting and destroying two enemy Shahed-131/136 type kamikaze drones during a nocturnal drone attack.

This spike in attacks on the Kherson region is part of a broader escalation of hostilities across Ukraine.

According to Ukrinform, over the same period, Russia executed 16 missile strikes, 31 air strikes, and 79 attacks using rocket salvo systems against both military positions and civilian areas throughout Ukraine.
