"The Kiev regime continues to attack civilian infrastructure. A missile attack, presumably by Storm Shadow, was carried out at a children's recreation center. Air defense units shot down one missile, two missiles, unfortunately, fell near the base,” the spokesman said.
Storm Shadow air-launched missiles with a range of 250-300 km were supplied to Ukraine by the United Kingdom in May, since that, the Ukrainian military uses them for shelling populated areas, among other things.
Earlier in Kherson, Ukrainian troops launched a series of strikes on the Kakhovka hydroelectric plant, damaging the upper part of the plant and starting an uncontrolled water discharge.
More than 22 thousand houses in 17 settlements in the Kherson region were flooded as a result of the destruction of the hydropower plant, according to Saldo.
Russian President Vladimir Putin called the destruction a barbaric act of the Kiev regime and noted that it led to a large-scale environmental and humanitarian disaster.
