Two people were killed and five were injured during the Russian bombing of her city Peninsulasaid the governor of the region of the same name Yaroslav Janusevits.

The city of Kherson was recaptured by Ukrainian forces in November during a major counter-offensive which led to the deployment of Russian forces to the east bank of the Dnieper.

“The enemy has again attacked the residential districts of Kherson,” the governor said on his Telegram account, clarifying that a maternity hospital, a cafe and a residential building were targeted by the Russian bombings.

“Last night two people were killed by Russian shelling” in the area, the governor said, clarifying that electricity has been restored by almost 90% in the city and its surroundings.

Five more people were injured in the Russian artillery attack with rocket launchers, tanks and mortar shells.

Before their withdrawal in November, Russian forces destroyed the city’s basic public services infrastructure and have since bombed it several times.

In Odessa, power outages continued today following yesterday’s Russian kamikaze drone attacks, said Sergei Brachuk, a spokesman for the local administration.

Ukrainian authorities also announced that power outages have also caused water outages in some districts of the city.

Last night, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said more than 1.5 million people were without electricity in Odesa following Russian strikes with Iranian drones.
