In the address to the population, Kherson city authorities urged city residents not to go outside - the authorities did not announce the evacuation.
"ATTENTION! There is no evacuation in the city! It is a provocation! Do not get into unfamiliar cars, do not go outside!" beg the authorities.
Oleksiy Arestovych, an adviser to the head of the President's Office, said in his morning address that Kherson is currently one of the hottest spots. Isolated groups of enemy infantry attempted to enter the city, and the Armed Forces and other military destroyed them. The shells hit two nine-story buildings.
The enemy began to capture civilians in Kherson. Locals say that Kherson residents, who know how to weld metal, produced anti-tank hedgehogs on an industrial scale all night.
