On Tuesday, June 23, Russian occupation forces carried out a brutal artillery strike on the Korabelnyi district of Kherson. According to the official report by the Head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration, [Olexandr Prokudin](https://t.me/olexandrprokudin/13497), the attack resulted in the death of a 47-year-old man, while three other civilians were severely injured.
Emergency services reported that the victims suffered explosive injuries, concussions, and acute stress reactions. Among the wounded are a 37-year-old woman, a 62-year-old woman, and a 64-year-old man. All survivors are currently under medical supervision in local hospitals. This tragedy highlights the ongoing, systematic campaign of terror waged by Russian forces against the civilian population in Ukraine’s southern regions.
This incident is far from isolated. Over the past few weeks, Kherson has been the target of frequent drone attacks and artillery shelling specifically aimed at civilian infrastructure, including public transport and medical vehicles. The intentional nature of these strikes confirms that Russian military strategy is designed to inflict maximum psychological and physical damage on the residents of the city.
The constant shelling of the Kherson region continues to pose a severe humanitarian threat. The international community is once again being urged to address these ongoing war crimes. As the situation remains critical, the resilience of the local population under constant fire continues to be the only buffer against the total destruction of these front-line communities. Factage Ukraine remains committed to tracking these developments and providing updates on the security situation in the region as more information becomes available from official sources.
