Details: Prokudin said that he convened a meeting of the Kherson Oblast Defence Council, where a decision was made to evacuate more residents of the Ukrainian-controlled territories in Kherson Oblast.

Quote from Prokudin: "Russian terror only intensifies. The occupiers are using every weapon at their disposal and have ramped up their use of drones. Sadly, we have seen the number of civilian casualties of [Russian] attacks, including children, double during the past month.

Together with Ihor Korol, Head of the National Police of Ukraine in Kherson Oblast, we have made a decision to expand the list of settlements where evacuation is mandated.

The list now includes Shliakhove, Tomaryne, Novooleksandrivka, Honcharne, Novodmytrivka, Romashkove, Pershotravneve, and the Hidropark and Naftohavan districts of the city of Kherson (along Morska Pikhota Street and the adjacent streets).

The list now includes a total of 50 settlements along the River Dnipro."
