Thousands are left without electricity following a Russian attack on Kherson, Ukraine, according to officials

Approximately 23,000 households experienced power outages following Russian shelling in Kherson, southern Ukraine, which resulted in damage to the city’s electrical infrastructure, according to the local military administration on Sunday.

The assault focused on the Dniprovskiy district along the Dnipro River, an area frequently targeted by Russian forces stationed on the opposite bank. Kherson’s governor, Oleksandr Prokudin, reported that both Kherson city and around 50 nearby settlements had been subjected to shelling by Russian troops within the last 24 hours.

Prokudin stated on Telegram, “The Russian military targeted social infrastructure and residential areas, causing damage to two multi-storey buildings and eight private homes.” Earlier on Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged allies to fulfill their commitments to provide Ukraine with weaponry, including systems designed to defend against Russian aerial assaults.
