According to him, since the beginning of the military special operation in the Kherson region, about 3.7 thousand shells fired by the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been recorded.

“Most of them were repelled, about 80% of the air defense worked,” TASS quoted Stremousov as saying.

Earlier, Ukrainian troops fired 12 missiles from the HIMARS MLRS on the Antonovsky bridge in Kherson.

Later, Stremousov said that the bridge across the Dnieper was actually destroyed as a result of shelling by Ukrainian troops.
