A dozen people have been wounded, including a 27-year-old woman and her 9-month-old baby, in a Russian attack on Ukraine’s southern region of Kherson, its governor said on Sunday.
“The Jershon region lived another terrible night,” Governor Oleksandr Prokudin wrote on the messaging app Telegram.
The governor has published a video showing a residential building with damaged windows and walls on several floors.
“Terror tactics are what Russia believes in,” presidential team leader Andriy Yermak said on Telegram.
The woman and baby have been hospitalized with moderate injuries, he said, adding that a 33-year-old Red Cross doctor was also injured.
In the past 24 hours, Russian forces carried out 59 attacks in Kherson, the region’s administration said on Telegram, including 19 cases of shelling of the city of the same name, the administrative center of the region.
Ukraine recaptured the city in November 2022, but it remains within reach of Russian troops.
Russia has frequently carried out airstrikes and bombings against Ukraine since the start of its large-scale invasion in February 2022. Ukraine says its counteroffensive in the south and east is gradually progressing.
Both sides deny attacking civilians, but thousands of civilians have been killed in Ukraine in attacks that have hit residential areas, as well as energy, defense, ports, grain and other facilities.
