“Our air force has hit Russian positions, points where equipment and personnel have been concentrated, and warehouses around five cities in the Kherson region,” the Ukrainian army’s general staff said on Facebook today.
Almost the entire province of Kherson was occupied by Russian troops from the first days of the invasion of Ukraine, on February 24.
