"A Russian guided bomb hit a ten-story apartment building, shaking all of Kherson overnight," Prokudin wrote.

The strike destroyed 15 apartments from the 1st to 10th floor in one section of the building. Eighty residences sustained damage, with windows blown out.

Six people were injured, including two who were rescued from the 8th and 9th floors by emergency services.

Among the injured are 14-year-old twins, a boy and a girl, who remain hospitalized. Doctors have assessed their condition as stable.

A 47-year-old man, who was in a nearby parking lot security room, suffered shrapnel wounds and a leg fracture.

Three other men received on-site medical treatment for concussions and head injuries.

Emergency teams have set up an operational headquarters at the scene. Around 120 personnel and 35 units of equipment are involved in rescue efforts, including firefighters, police, medical teams, utility workers, volunteers, and city officials.

People may still be trapped under the rubble, and rescue teams are continuing search and debris removal operations.
