Kyrylo Tymoshenko, Zelensky's deputy chief of staff, said two floors of the building were damaged, but no one was injured.

He posted photos on the Telegram app showing destruction in the building.

An unconfirmed video shared on Telegram shows a huge column of smoke rising from the building.

Russian missile hit the Kherson Regional Administration.

This is the same building where a month ago Ukrainians so happily raised our flag.

It has no military value.

Pure act of terror and revenge.

Which only shows how weak Russia is.
