Casualties in Russian strikes on Ukraine's Kherson rise to 18 injured and one dead

The casualty toll from Russian strikes on the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson has risen to 18 people injured, with one confirmed fatality, according to regional authorities. Oleksandr Prokudin, head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration, stated that a 54-year-old woman died during the air attacks, while ten of the wounded were hospitalized with various injuries.

The updated figures follow earlier reports of Russian shelling and aerial bombardments targeting multiple settlements across the Kherson province, which inflicted civilian casualties and damaged local infrastructure.

Separately, Russian officials previously reported that Ukrainian naval drones sank the Russian container vessel Janjina in international waters of the Black Sea, though all 17 crew members were safely rescued.
