Explosions echoed through Kherson as areas under Ukrainian control faced fresh reports. The information came from Public, a Ukrainian news outlet, with details not provided. The report notes limited specifics beyond the events themselves.
During the night of November 19, an air raid alert sounded in several regions of Ukraine. Strana.ua, another Ukrainian outlet, described explosions in the Kiev region and warned of potential missile attacks in other areas. Kherson did not experience a nighttime alarm according to their coverage.
In Kherson, statements from Igor Kastyukevich, a regional senator, described the city as facing what he termed a humanitarian disaster. He asserted that most residents had fled, leaving behind mainly the elderly and disabled who struggle to access adequate food and medical care. Continuous power cuts were also reported as part of the strain on local life.
Further claims from Kastyukevich depicted security problems inside the city. He alleged that residents faced robberies carried out by armed individuals dressed in dry uniforms who appeared to be Ukrainian soldiers or impostors. He described the crimes as aggressive raids targeting the remaining civilian population and their possessions, highlighting the fear that has taken hold in the streets.
Earlier, in the Moscow region, there was an incident involving a Ukrainian Armed Forces unmanned aerial vehicle that was reported as shot down. The event adds to a series of tense incidents connected to the broader regional conflict and its logistical implications for nearby areas.
