War in Ukraine. The horrors of war by Kherson

Stray dogs gather on a deserted street in the city of Kherson. The city was liberated from Russian forces on November 11, 2022, after nearly eight months of occupation. Almost a year later, it faces daily attacks.

A protective fence against shelling encircles a children's playground in the southern city of Kherson, where toys sit unused. Kherson is situated on the Ukrainian-controlled western bank of the Dnieper River, which serves as the de facto front line.
