Four injured in reported Russian attack on Kherson’s Korabelnyi district

What happened

Ukrainska Pravda English reports that Russian forces attacked the Korabelnyi district of Kherson around 09:00 on 22 May, injuring four civilians including a 79-year-old woman, according to the Kherson Oblast Military Administration.

The central claim remains unconfirmed in the supplied material and should be treated as hearsay until corroborated by another reliable source or a named official. Medical reports describe a 43-year-old woman hospitalized with shrapnel wounds to her legs, concussion, and a closed head injury, and a 63-year-old man treated at the scene with a chest contusion and concussion. A 79-year-old woman and a 48-year-old man were also hospitalized with blast injuries that remain under medical examination.

The source also states a civilian man was killed in a separate drone strike in Kherson on the morning of 22 May, although further details and independent confirmation of this casualty have not been provided.
