Oleksandr Prokudin, head of the Kherson Regional State Administration, confirmed that the strikes resulted in three fatalities and 11 injuries.
The attacks damaged five multi-story buildings, 13 private houses, a cellular tower, and several private vehicles, causing significant destruction to civilian infrastructure.

On May 29, the Russian military targeted the Ochakiv and Kutsurub communities with FPV drone strikes, damaging a residential house, according to the Mykolaiv Regional State Administration. Later that morning, at 10:05 AM, a presumed Iskander-M ballistic missile struck the Horokhiv community, injuring four people. A 40-year-old man died en route to the hospital, while the three others remain hospitalized in stable but severe condition.
The missile strike also damaged a grain elevator, a hangar, and farm equipment. Additional FPV drone attacks were carried out over Ochakiv and nearby waters, but no casualties were reported.
