"Landmark Church in Kherson Damaged by Russian Shelling"

Russian shelling damaged a landmark church in the Ukrainian city of Kherson, which once held the remains of an 18th-century Russian commander. The attack follows the severe damage sustained by a beloved Orthodox cathedral in Odesa last week, highlighting the risk to Ukraine's cultural monuments. Ukraine's military has intensified its counteroffensive to reclaim Russian-occupied territory, resulting in increased fighting in multiple regions. The Ukrainian president's office reported two deaths in recent Russian attacks, while the Ukrainian air force shot down 15 Shahed drones launched by Russia. Kherson, which was recaptured by Ukrainian forces last year, remains a target of daily Russian attacks, causing civilian casualties.
