Russian shelling in Bilozerka village, in the Kherson region on 26 December 2024.
About 23,000 households were left without electricity after Russian shelling of Kherson in southern Ukraine damaged power equipment in the city, the local military administration said.
The attack targeted the Dniprovskiy district along the Dnipro River, an area of Kherson that is regularly shelled by Russian troops on the opposite bank.
Kherson's governor, Oleksandr Prokudin, said Kherson city and around 50 settlements in the surrounding region had been shelled by Russian troops over the past 24 hours.
"The Russian military shelled social infrastructure and residential areas of the region's settlements, in particular, damaging 2 multi-storey buildings and 8 private houses," Prokudin said on Telegram.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky earlier on Sunday called on allies to honour their promises to supply Ukraine with weapons, including systems to counter Russian air attacks.
