Ukrainian officials said they had found evidence of possible torture chambers in Kherson, as well as other liberated areas. Ukrainian National Police Chief Igor Klymenko said authorities will begin investigating testimonies from residents of Kherson that Russian forces have established at least three alleged torture sites in the now liberated areas of the region, where “our people may have been detained and tortured.” “Mine clearance is ongoing. After that, I think investigative actions will start today,” Klymenko told Ukrainian TV.
Meanwhile, officials from the Russian-imposed administration in New Kakhovkha fled the city due to heavy shelling and were transferred “to safe areas in the region”. The announcement was made by the government itself, quoted by the Guardian. Second city in the Kherson region, Nova Kakhovka is located on the east bank of the Dnipro River. Last Saturday, the deployment of pro-Russian officials was also announced from Kakhovka, a town further north on the same coast. Kherson, which was liberated by the Ukrainians, is located further south on the west bank.
