Russians kill three, injure 15 in artillery attacks on Kherson Oblast in a day – governor
Continuing their relentless onslaught on Kherson Oblast, Russian forces carried out 124 shelling attacks on Nov. 13, resulting in the deaths of three residents and injuries to 15, including a child, the oblast’s governor Oleksandr Prokudin reported on Telegram on Nov. 14.
Russian forces used a variety of weaponry in their attacks, including mortars, artillery, Grad multiple launch rocket systems, tanks, drones and aircraft. The city of Kherson itself bore the brunt of the attacks, with 69 projectiles hitting the city over the day on Nov. 13.
Prokudin decried the deliberate targeting of residential areas by the Russians.
The Russians directed fire at factories in the town of Beryslav in Kherson Oblast. Their attacks also targeted a medical facility, an educational institution, an administrative building, a trade port, and a public catering establishment in Kherson.
Russians continued their aggression on Nov. 12, targeting Kherson and striking the Oles Honchar regional universal scientific library, which claimed the life of a man and left his wife injured.
The situation escalated on Nov. 13, when a hospital in Kherson came under attack, resulting in the tragic loss of two lives and injuries to ten others due to Russian shelling.
Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko reported a particularly distressing incident on the same day. Russian occupiers targeted a vehicle carrying a family with an infant on the outskirts of Kherson. Tragically, the driver lost his life, and the mother of the child is currently in a critical condition. The attack occurred as the family was returning from a medical examination.
The injured infant received a head wound from shrapnel.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
