Ukrainian officials report five civilians killed in Russian attacks on Kherson, southern Ukraine. Simultaneously, Russian-installed officials claim one casualty in Horlivka due to Kyiv's shelling. Kherson, abandoned by Russian forces over a year ago, faced continuous shelling, resulting in deaths and infrastructure damage. Gas and water supplies were disrupted, impacting a medical facility. In Horlivka, Ukrainian shelling destroyed a shopping center, leaving one woman dead and six injured. Moscow and Kyiv deny targeting civilians, yet ongoing strikes on critical infrastructure reveal escalating tensions in the conflict, with independent verification challenging conflicting reports from both sides.
