Bombings in the Herson region, currently under Ukrainian administration
In the past few days, several regions in Ukraine have been hit by explosions and air alerts, with the city of Kherson experiencing the brunt of these attacks.
According to reports, Kherson, currently under Ukrainian control, has been subjected to a series of Russian strikes involving airstrikes, artillery shelling, and missile attacks. On August 2, a key bridge connecting the city to the Korabel neighborhood was damaged by a Russian airstrike, leading to evacuation orders due to disrupted logistics and supply difficulties. Earlier in the day, heavy shelling hit residential districts and a central market, injuring at least two women and causing damage to homes and retail outlets.
The attacks in Kherson have been ongoing, with Russian forces using artillery, drones, and warplanes in multiple attacks across the Kherson Oblast over the past day, resulting in fatalities and further casualties.
The causes of these attacks are tied to the ongoing Russian military operations aiming to strike Ukrainian-controlled Kherson and disrupt its logistics and civilian infrastructure as part of the broader conflict following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Local authorities have highlighted the damage to civilian structures and appealed for evacuations to protect residents, citing worsening conditions due to the strikes.
Elsewhere, the regions of Sumy, Kharkiv, and Dnipropetrovsk are currently under an air alert, as per online maps from the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine. On August 1, an energy infrastructure object in the Sumy region was damaged. In the Kherson region, controlled by Kyiv, an air siren was sounded from 13:51 to 14:11, the same as Moscow time. However, no further details about the explosions in Kherson are provided in the publication.
As the situation continues to unfold, it is crucial to monitor updates and stay informed about the safety and well-being of those affected by these attacks.
