Russian Airstrikes Hit Kherson Critical Infrastructure, Cutting Power and Water Across the City

Russian airstrikes struck critical infrastructure in Kherson on August 10, cutting electricity and water supplies across the southern Ukrainian city, according to the Kherson Regional Military Administration.

The strikes left the Central, Dnipro, and Korabel districts partially de-energized, the administration reported. Specialists were assessing the scale of the destruction and the emergency repairs required to restore service.

“Russian terrorists have once again cynically attacked our community’s critical infrastructure from the air,” the Kherson Regional Military Administration stated.

Separately, Russian forces hit locations across the wider Kherson region on August 9 and 10 with aviation, drones, and artillery, the head of the regional administration, Oleksandr Prokudin, stated.

One person was killed, and four others were wounded in attacks that reached Beryslav, Bilozerka, Stanislav, Dariivka, Antonivka, Kizomys, and Sadove.

Russian Forces Hit Bus and Ambulance in Kherson Drone Attacks, Killing One, Injuring Six

In Kherson itself, a 55-year-old driver was killed when a drone dropped an explosive device onto his vehicle, according to the regional prosecutor's office. Another resident was wounded in an airstrike, while three more were injured in drone strikes in the city, the village of Vysoke, and on the road between Kostyrka and Novoraysk.

The attacks damaged residential and administrative buildings, a hotel, a hospital, and vehicles, prosecutors noted. A pre-trial investigation into the strikes has been opened as suspected war crimes.

The driver's killing fits a growing pattern of Russian drone terror across the region. Occupying forces were ordered days earlier to conduct so-called "free hunting" against vehicles using UAVs, including fiber-optic FPV drones that resist electronic jamming.

Such attacks have increasingly menaced cars, buses, and crowded sites like markets and gas stations in settlements near the Dnipro River and the front line.
