He clarified that the dormitory had belonged to the Polytechnic College in Kherson, which is currently being used as large-scale housing for Russian occupying forces.

The official also noted that Russians fear approaching the building, as detonations may continue.

Ukraine is keeping almost the entirety of Kherson Oblast under fire control, Natalia Humeniuk, spokesperson for the Ukrainian military’s Operational Command South, said in mid-September.

According to her, in the south of Ukraine, Russian units are sandwiched between the Armed Forces and the right bank of the Dnipro river. The invading troops are being offered a chance to surrender under the auspices of international humanitarian law, or to return home.

Earlier, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that it would be possible to talk about the end of the war only when Ukraine liberates all of the territories currently occupied by Russia.
