A series of powerful explosions broke out near the TV center in Kherson. According to media reports, the shelling came from the Nikolayev region, which is controlled by Ukrainian troops. It is specified that the Ukrainian Armed Forces shelled the city from Tochka-U and Uragan multiple rocket launchers. Kherson's TV tower, which rebroadcasts Russian TV channels, survived. After a brief malfunction, the broadcasting continued.

It also became known that from May 1, the Kherson Region of Ukraine will switch to rubles. This was announced by the deputy head of the region's civil-military administration. It is expected that the transition period will take up to four months. During this time, both the hryvnia and the ruble will be in circulation in the region.
