SIBY JEYYA
Nine persons were murdered on friday by Ukrainian shelling of the Russian-occupied southern Kherson area, according to the occupational authority imposed by Moscow. The attacks coincided with Kyiv's counteroffensive, which is aimed at regaining territory from moscow and is concentrated on the southern region of the nation. The leader of the Moscow-occupied Kherson area, Vladimir Saldo, stated on Russian state television that nine deceased persons had been hauled out from under the debris.
Local official Konstantin Basyuk, who was supported by moscow, had previously announced that seven people had died and that two more individuals were "fighting for their lives" by the medical staff. He said that the local employment center and pension office were among the "citizen infrastructure in the Chaplynskiy district" that Kyiv had "attacked."
About 100 kilometers (62 miles) to the southeast of Kherson, the regional center under Ukrainian military control, is the town of Chaplynka. Although the Russian military withdrew from Kherson last year, moscow continues to hold much of the territory. According to his foreign minister, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, the president of Ukraine, is weighing the "pros and cons" of having presidential elections in the spring of next year.
