Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported "counteroffensive actions" by the army at the front, but refused to say whether it was the major attack that the Kiev General Staff has been preparing for months. According to pro-Russians, more than 6,000 people, including 235 children, have been evacuated from flooded areas of the Kherson region.
The head of the pro-Russian administration of the region Vladimir Saldo was reportedly seriously injured in the bombing of the hotel where he is staying together with Russians.
