One fatality in Russian shelling of Kherson Oblast
Repeated Russian artillery strikes on Ivanivka, Kherson Oblast, prevented emergency workers from evacuating the body of a man killed on Jan. 10 until the next day, the Prosecutor General's Office reported via Telegram on Jan. 11.
The man was killed in his own home.
Ukrainian prosecutors have opened an investigation into the apparent violation of the laws and customs of war.
Three people were injured in the sustained artillery barrage, according to Kherson regional governor Oleksandr Prokudin. In another Telegram post, he said the Russian military had carried out 108 strikes in the area, firing 482 shells over the past 24 hours.
Russia regularly attacks Kherson and its surrounding areas. A 62-year-old civilian was killed, and another 66-year-old man was hospitalized following the Russian shelling of a market in Kherson City, local officials reported on Jan. 7.
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.
