Russian occupation forces have shelled the Korabelny district of Kherson, wounding seven civilians, according to Oleksandr Prokudin, the head of the regional administration. The attack has raised concerns about the safety of residents in the area, which has been under Russian control since 2022. Prokudin’s statement adds to the growing accounts of civilian casualties in the region, which have been increasingly documented by both local authorities and international observers.
The incident has intensified calls for humanitarian aid and support for the affected communities. Local officials have been urging for increased international assistance to address the needs of those displaced or injured by the ongoing conflict. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian government has continued to emphasize its commitment to defending its territory, with military operations still ongoing in the Kherson region.
International reactions have been mixed, with some countries expressing condemnation of the attack while others have called for a ceasefire and de-escalation. The continued violence in Kherson underscores the complex and volatile nature of the conflict, with both sides facing challenges in achieving a lasting resolution. The incident serves as a reminder of the human cost of the war and the urgent need for a diplomatic solution to prevent further casualties.
