On Wednesday, Russian troops shelled the regional administration building in the central square of the recently liberated southern Ukrainian city of Kherson with rocket launchers, a high-ranking Ukrainian official said.
Ukraine recaptured Kherson from Russian forces on November 11, sparking several days of celebrations in the square, which President Volodymyr Zelensky visited a few days later to welcome the end of the Russian occupation of the occupied southern city.
Russian troops bombarded Kherson from the opposite side of the Dnieper after abandoning the city and retreating to the west bank of the river.
Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Kyrylo Tymoshenko reported that two floors of the building were damaged, but no one was injured.
On his Telegram channel, he published images showing rubble near the building and the covering of an internal corridor that had collapsed. Some windows were broken, although the structure of the building appeared intact.

A Russian missile hit the Kherson Regional State Administration. This is the same building where a month ago Ukrainians so joyfully raised our flag. It has no military significance. A pure act of terror and revenge. Which only shows how weak Russia is. pic.twitter.com/4FFRhA3rQ2
