Civilians in the Kherson region face frequent Russian artillery, bomb, and drone strikes. Local military leadership has suggested that Russian operators may be using civilian targets to practice before engaging military forces. These attacks, which reportedly occur almost every hour, have caused deaths and severe injuries among non-combatants.

Beyond direct physical casualties, the conflict is impacting the national economy. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development has lowered its GDP growth forecasts for Ukraine, citing Russian attacks on energy infrastructure and challenges regarding grain and metal exports. Additionally, a Russian ban on diesel exports following Ukrainian strikes on refineries has influenced global prices. In Kyiv, a drone attack resulted in the death of an employee at an OTP Bank branch.
