Early Friday morning on November 10, the Russian army shelled the outskirts of the frontline city of Kherson, specifically the village of Komishany, damaging a school. 

This news was shared on Facebook by Roman Mrochko, the head of the Kherson City Military Administration, Rubryka reports.

The aftermath of the Russian attack on Komishany, a suburb of Kherson, is visible in the published photos. According to the statement, the old building of the local school suffered significant damage, with windows smashed in the new building.

Nearly 800 children attended this school, which Mrochko emphasized is uncommon for educational institutions in Kherson because the constant Russian shelling doesn't allow offline learning. Many local children are also displaced, living in safer parts of the country.

The city administration chief also reported that the Russian army shelled Komishany around 1 am over the Dnipro River from the occupied left bank of the region.
