The occupiers are intensifying their shelling of Kherson, and there is no longer a single safe district, street or house in the city.

Heavy guns and rocket artillery are fired randomly, targeting hospitals, high-rise buildings and private residences.

Locals die every day, because many people still remain in the city - some do not have the finances to leave, others - do not want to leave their homes and hometown, TSN reports. 

Part of Volodymyr's grandfather's house burned down after being hit by a shell.

"Constantly, during the day and at night, they worked, from and to, but there was no such thing as a direct hit and it caught fire immediately.

No, I will be here until the end, I will not go anywhere, I have lived here for 30 years, how can I quit and whom will I quit, everything will be stretched," the man says.

The occupiers are densely and 24/7 shelling Kherson chaotically.

Nowadays, there is not a single safe area left in the city, they can fly across the Dnipro at any time and anywhere. 

72-year-old Lyudmila Oleksandrivna lived in a small private house a few days ago, now it has been destroyed.

She was saved by her late daughter, the woman says.

The shell flew straight into the roof of her apartment and exploded overhead.

"In the very epicenter, the saucepan is on the stove, I was preparing a memorial dinner, today is 14 years since my daughter went to another world, I heard the sound of a rocket flying, I begged Natalochka, don't take me away and the blow went off," the woman says. 

The pensioner was pulled out by a stranger who was walking down the street.

He saw the consequences of the explosion and pulled the old woman out from under the rubble, now Lyudmila Oleksandrivna lives with relatives.

Such people who lost their homes in a day by several dozen.

The worst thing, say the townspeople themselves, is that they are getting used to death, which is always nearby.

"You get used to shelling, you have nowhere to go.

It's scary, you're running around those rooms, there's nowhere to hide, because you don't know where it's coming from, falling from all sides," people say. 

The echoes of explosions from enemy artillery roll throughout the city, the windows that have survived in some places tremble.

In the middle of this chaos, two women with children go to get humanitarian aid, they have nothing to buy food with.

In Kherson, Olena stayed with her mother and two small children: a boy - 7, and a girl - 5. "The children are responding, the boy's hands are shaking and the girl is afraid, and I am also afraid," - says the children's grandmother.  

Children jump at every sound of an explosion in the city.

There are only two people left in their high-rise building, but despite the daily risks, the women still refuse to leave. "We are here for the city to live.

If we are not there, then there will be nothing at all, there will be a wild field," Olena is convinced.  

Others think so too, that's why windows broken by rolling pins are hastily covered with wooden boards, somewhere they patch the roof on their own.

Communal workers take away broken glass and bricks lying around houses and fill potholes on the roads.

All this under the artillery cannonade of the occupiers, which is tearing the city to pieces.

Kherson is struggling.
