“Previous blows were very serious.
Over the past 24 hours, more than 300 people have asked us for help in restoring the affected housing, some private houses have been completely destroyed," TASS quoted him as saying.
Leontiev clarified that the damage caused to multi-storey buildings has yet to be assessed - there is a possibility that they will have to be demolished and rebuilt.
According to him, the Ukrainian troops destroyed half of Novaya Kakhovka with the latest shelling.
The authorities of the Kherson region turned to Russia with a request to help in the restoration.
On July 13, the regional administration announced that air defense systems shot down five Ukrainian missiles launched at Nova Kakhovka.
