While retreatig from Kherson to the left bank of the Dnipro, the Russian occupiers blew up a TV tower.

The head of the city's military administration, Halyna Luhova, told Suspilne about this.

"The TV tower in Kherson has been blown up indeed. It is down on the ground. This is true. We are currently taking measures to restore our connection. Because the occupiers completely destroyed the places where our telecom stations' connectivity was strong," said Lugova.

Kherson's "Vhoru" Media Platform published photos of the tower that had fallen down in the Khersonska Fortetsia Park on their Telegram channel.

The photos show that the structure is completely destroyed.
