“I sat on my knees and prayed:” Kherson residents recount Russian artillery terror
Russian forces conducted an hour-long artillery and rocket attack on the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson early morning of 20 December, killing two people and injuring eleven others.
While much of Kherson city and parts of the right bank have been liberated in 2022, certain areas remain under Russian occupation, particularly those east of the Dnipro River. Since the liberation, Kherson and its surrounding regions have been subjected to near-daily shelling by Russian forces. This bombardment often targets civilian infrastructure, including homes, shops, and hospitals.
