Devastation in Kherson: Russian Shelling Slaughters Seven Civilians in Market Attack

On Tuesday, a Russian strike in the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson resulted in the deaths of seven individuals, according to the regional prosecutor's office.

Videos released by the region's governor depicted a chaotic scene, with debris and shattered glass littering a market area, and several bodies visible on the pavement. The Kherson region prosecutor's office reported via Telegram that "around 9 a.m. (0600 GMT) on October 1, Russian forces struck the center of Kherson, allegedly using cannon artillery."

Meanwhile, Russians shelled a grocery market in downtown Kherson this morning.
It was done in the busiest hours when so many people came over to buy food for their families... and then Russian artillery fired.
