Kherson and other settlements on the Dnipro River's west bank have been continuously shelled by Russia since they were liberated[4] by Ukrainian forces 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. After Russia's destruction [5]of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant's dam on June 6, Ukraine's southern Kherson Oblast has also suffered massive floods and a large-scale humanitarian crisis[6].
