**Deck**: Kherson City came under multiple-launch rocket fire, likely from Russian Tornado-S systems, with at least two impacts reported and no immediate details on locations or casualties.

Kherson City has been hit by rocket fire from multiple-launch systems, with early reports pointing to Russian Tornado-S launchers as the likely source.

On 25 October, local reporting said the city was under attack from multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS), probably Tornado-S, and that at least two impacts had been recorded. There was no immediate information on the exact impact sites or on casualties.

Kherson lies close to areas of the Dnipro River’s opposite bank that are under Russian control, keeping it within range of long-range MLRS. Systems such as Tornado-S can be fired from positions far from the city itself, complicating efforts to locate and suppress the launchers.

Residents who have returned to Kherson or remained there face continued risk from such attacks, even though the city is no longer under Russian occupation. Strikes can land with short warning times and can hit a range of targets, from residential buildings to public services and logistics routes.

Operationally, MLRS fire allows Russian forces across the river to put pressure on Ukrainian-controlled territory without moving ground units closer. For Ukraine’s military and civil authorities, each new salvo reinforces the need to balance air defence and shelter measures in Kherson against demands in other regions.

Signals to watch in the coming days include whether the frequency of MLRS attacks on Kherson increases, and whether Ukrainian officials adjust evacuation guidance or protection measures for vulnerable neighbourhoods in response.
