Russian forces conducted a series of airstrikes on Kherson, targeting the city's Central District with guided bombs, including a FAB-500, and artillery. The attacks, which began in the early morning of April 16, resulted in the destruction of the ice arena and damage to shops, schools, residential buildings, a post office, and cars in the Tavrichesky district. The assault led to the death of at least one person and injuries to several others, including a 20-year-old woman who sought medical help for a blast injury and concussion. Roman Mrochko, the head of Kherson City Military Administration, was recording a video about a previous strike when he came under artillery fire. Rescue and utility workers arriving at the scene were also targeted by Russian artillery, complicating efforts to respond to the attack. An ambulance was damaged by a double-tap strike after the initial shelling. The ongoing strikes have been part of a broader pattern of daily shelling in Kherson, affecting civilians and infrastructure.
