On 21 February at about noon, the Russian troops again shelled Kherson City.

"Kherson is under fire. Presumably, [the multiple-rocket launcher BM-21] Grad. About 20 explosions," Kherson Oblast Military Administration Head Oleksandr Prokudin reported on his Telegram channel at 12:04.

Later the official Telegram channel of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that a bus stop was among the hit locations:

"The Russian army is heavily shelling Kherson. Again mercilessly killing the civilian population. A vehicle park, residential areas, a high-rise building, and a public transport stop were hit. These terrorist attacks, unfortunately, resulted in death and injury. My condolences to all those who have lost loved ones."
