On the same day, the Russian military targeted Kherson Oblast's village of Poniativka, according to the regional administration[4]. A resident was injured in his home and hospitalized with the loss of an upper limb, the Kherson Oblast Military Administration reported. Poniativka is located on the west bank of the Dnipro River, about 30 kilometers east of Kherson.

The regional capital and other settlements on the Kyiv-controlled west bank have been subjected to daily Russian attacks since they were liberated in November 2022. Russian forces were pushed to the river's east bank, from where they have since been firing at the liberated territories, regularly resulting in civilian deaths and injuries.
