The Russian army fired 622 shells at Kherson Oblast in the preceding day, reported Oleksandr Prokudin, Chairman of Kherson Oblast Military Administration. Two people were killed as a result of the Russian shelling, with an additional two sustaining injuries.

This incident follows a previous attack on Beryslav in Kherson Oblast on Oct. 14, during which a 60-year-old woman was killed.

Prokudin had previously issued a call for families with children to evacuate Kherson Oblast due to the extremely dangerous situation.
