“The Russians fired at a taxi bus in the Korabelnyi district of Kherson,” the statement said.

“They received explosive injuries, contusions, and shrapnel wounds to their legs. The victims were taken to hospital. They are currently receiving medical care,” the administration said.

Russian shelling of Kherson and region

Russian troops seized the Kherson region during the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. In the fall, the Ukrainian Defense Forces regained control of the city along with the right-bank part of the region.

At the same time, the Russian invaders have not abandoned their plans for a new occupation of Kherson. In early December, RBC-Ukraine cited its sources as saying that, in addition to the offensive on Zaporizhzhia, the Russians may soon attempt another offensive on Kherson.

Meanwhile, Russian troops are constantly shelling Kherson and the right bank of the region. In particular, it is no longer a secret that Russia is training its drone operators by attacking civilians in Kherson.
