During January 2026, as a result of Russian shelling of the Kherson community, 18 people were killed and another 96 were wounded. Among the victims were five children.
This was reported by the head of the Kherson City Military Administration, Yaroslav Shanko.
According to him, the Russian army’s main weapons remain artillery and multiple rocket launch systems; nearly seventy people were wounded by them.
Residential neighborhoods, public transport, critical infrastructure facilities, as well as schools and hospitals where care is provided to those wounded as a result of Russian aggression, are coming under enemy fire.
It should be recalled that at approximately 09:20 Russian occupiers attacked the Central district of Kherson with a drone. As a result of the enemy strike was injured a 36-year-old employee of one of the municipal enterprises. A few hours later information appeared about another municipal worker who also was injured as a result of the shelling.
