Updated: Russian airstrike against Kherson injures 20, including children
Editor's note: The story was updated with the latest number of casualties.
At least 20 people were injured during a Russian airstrike against the southern city of Kherson on Oct. 7, local authorities reported.
Russia attacked the city around 10:40 a.m., with two KAB bombs dropped in the coastal area of the central district and two more in the northern part of Kherson.
Initially, eight people were reported as injured, including two children aged three and five. Eleven more injuries were confirmed later during the same day.
At least six multi-story buildings were damaged by blast waves, the regional prosecutor's office said.
The same morning, Russia launched two Kinzhal missiles against Kyiv Oblast, both of which were shot down. The fallen debris damaged several buildings and cars in the city, but no casualties were reported.
Ukraine liberated the southern city of Kherson from Russian occupation in November 2022. Since then, Russian troops have regularly attacked the city and nearby areas along the western bank of the Dnipro River.
