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.”
