At least three deaths have already been mourned.
The Russian Defense Ministry announced the start of bombings on the areas of Kherson recently vacated by the Army, on the western bank of the Dnieper River, in a series of attacks also confirmed by the Ukrainian security forces, who denounced at least three possible deaths in these operations.
“The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reports shooting at equipment and manpower of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the right bank (the western bank) of the Dnieper” , according to a statement collected by the Russian agency TASS.
Similarly, the Ukrainian Regional Police in Kherson confirmed a shelling of the city of Berislav, about 60 kilometers north of the city, with heavy artillery, which would have left at least three dead.
&# 8220;Peaceful populations have come under fire from the enemy and there are victims due to the impact of the projectiles, and damaged residential buildings”, according to a statement from the Police published on its Facebook page.
These attacks, according to the Police, would have destroyed a grain barn, as well as agricultural machinery, including nine tractors and a combine harvester.
Shortly after, the Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s Office confirmed at least three deceased found in a barn with “cracked skulls” who could have been victims of a “possible war crime”.
The withdrawal of Russian forces from the Ukrainian region of Kherson was consolidated this Friday after the troops of the Army of Ukraine have finally reached the city center even though Moscow insists the area “remains Russian” after the withdrawal from the western bank.
With the Ukrainian flag waving again in one of the main squares of the city, kyiv has perceived the advance of its troops as a victory for the Ukrainian Army, which is still fighting against Russian forces in an attempt to reverse the advances of enemy soldiers in areas that have been annexed by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
