Russian

occupying troops shelled the territory of the Kherson region 42 times in the past day, January 31.

As a result of insidious enemy attacks, there are civilian casualties.

Kherson OVA informs about this on the morning of February 1.

The Russian occupiers bombarded peaceful settlements of the Kherson region with artillery, small arms fire and mortars.

The Russian army shelled the regional center 8 times.

Due to enemy attacks in the city, homes of Kherson residents were damaged. 

Due to the Russian aggression, 1 person died

, another

resident

of the region was injured.

We will remind you that on January 30, the

Russian occupiers shelled the territory of the Kherson region 54 times

.

The enemy opened fire with artillery, MLRS, mortars and tanks.

It should be noted that since Ukrainian soldiers liberated Kherson from Russian occupation (November 11, 2022), Russian troops have been regularly raiding the city with extreme brutality, destroying people's homes and infrastructure there, and killing civilians with their shelling.

However, as military expert Oleg Zhdanov explains, the Russian invaders

do not want to destroy Kherson, their goal is to capture the city

.

When they are engaged in exhausting fire, they stop and watch to see if the townspeople will throw up the white flag or not.

Zhdanov gave an example of how, in the first month of the war, a Russian prisoner of war, perhaps even an officer, during the initial interrogation, to the question:

"Why are you killing us?", answered: "So that you love us."

In addition,

during the occupation, Russians in the village of Oleksandrivka, in the Kherson region, shot civilian cars, threw grenades into basements, and shot local people at their feet.

 Nowadays, Oleksandrivka is a complete ruin, and among the hundreds of broken houses there is burnt military equipment.
