Previous attacks
The strike follows a series of Russian drone attacks on Kherson the previous day, August 19, which killed two people and wounded another.
Kherson and its surrounding areas regularly come under Russian artillery and drone fire due to the city's proximity to the front line and the Dnipro River, which borders Russian-controlled territory.
