In Kherson, 35 vehicles have been deployed to evacuate residents from the Korabelnyi district following Russian airstrikes.

The Kherson Regional Military Administration reported this on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.

The recent attacks damaged the bridge connecting the city to the Korabel neighborhood. This has made movement difficult and prompted an organized evacuation effort.

"A total of 35 vehicles from municipal services, volunteer organizations, and law enforcement agencies have been engaged to transport people," the statement said.

The military administration noted that about 50 evacuation requests have already been received and are being processed. Evacuated individuals are being taken to safe locations where accommodations have been prepared. Residents with limited mobility will remain under medical supervision.
