The ongoing Russian aggression continues to take a heavy toll on civilians in several Ukrainian regions, with recent reports confirming multiple deaths and injuries over the past day.
In the Kherson region, Oleksandr Prokudin, head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration, reported that three people were killed and ten others wounded due to Russian attacks. Over the last 24 hours, numerous settlements including Antonivka, Beryslav, Veletenske, Vesele, Havrylivka, Dniprovske, Dudchany, Zmiivka, Kachkarivka, Kizomys, Komyshany, Kostyrka, Mykhailivka, Mykilske, the city of Kherson, and several other locations came under intense drone, artillery, and air strikes.
Russian forces targeted critical infrastructure, social facilities, and residential areas, causing damage to a private home, a gas pipeline, garages, and private vehicles. During a nighttime drone assault, Ukrainian air defense successfully shot down three Shahed-131/136 drones over the region. Tragically, the violence resulted in the death of a 66-year-old man in the Dnipro district of Kherson city after a Russian shelling attack.
In the Donetsk region, five civilians lost their lives on May 30 due to Russian forces, according to Vadym Filashkin, head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration.
