Russian forces attacked a multi-storey apartment building in central Kherson with a drone on the evening of Monday, November 9, injuring an 88-year-old woman, according to Ukraine’s national news agency Ukrinform.
In a separate attack in the Kherson region, a Russian drone struck a car, injuring three men, Ukrinform reported.
The two incidents added to reports of attacks affecting civilians in the region. Ukrinform reported that the 88-year-old woman was injured in the strike on the apartment building. Her condition beyond the reported injury was not immediately known. The extent of damage to the building was also not specified in the available report.
Ukrinform did not provide further details about the three men injured when the drone struck the car, including their conditions or the precise location of the incident. The extent of damage to the vehicle was not reported.
Separately, Russian forces attacked energy facilities in the Cherkasy region, leaving some consumers without electricity in the Uman and Zvenyhorodka districts, according to Ukrinform.
The agency did not specify how many consumers lost power, which facilities were struck or how extensive the damage was. The duration of the outages and the timing of any restoration were also not established in the information reported.
The attacks were reported amid continued fighting along the front line. In its war update on Monday, Ukrinform said 148 combat clashes had been recorded since the morning. Ukrainian forces had repelled more than 20 Russian attacks on the Pokrovsk and Kostiantynivka fronts, the agency reported.
The front-line figures provide the broader military context for Monday’s reporting, while the incidents in Kherson and Cherkasy involved separate reported attacks on a residential building, a vehicle and energy facilities.
The confirmed civilian injuries reported by Ukrinform in the Kherson incidents total four: an 88-year-old woman injured in the apartment-building strike and three men injured when a drone hit a car. No additional casualty figures are included in the agency’s account.
Further details remain unknown, including the woman’s medical condition, the conditions of the three injured men, the full extent of damage at the residential and vehicle sites, and the number of electricity consumers affected in Cherkasy. Ukrinform’s reporting did not establish how long the power outages would last.
The Library Media will update this report as further information is confirmed.
