The Office of the General Prosecutor said that Ukrainian officials had inspected “four premises” where Moscow’s troops had “illegally detained people and brutally tortured them.”
In a statement, they said that Russian forces had established “pseudo-law enforcement agencies” in Kherson detention centres and in a police station.
Parts of rubber truncheons, a wooden bat, and an incandescent lamp were found along with a “device with which the occupiers tortured civilians with electricity”.
In the basement, Ukrainian troops also discovered part of a metal-plastic pipe, handcuffs, and other objects.
Efforts are being made to identify victims of Russian torture while a pre-trial investigation is ongoing as part of criminal proceedings attempting to bring the Russian perpetrators to justice.
It comes as Kherson was bombarded by Russian rockets and artillery on Monday.
Despite being liberated, the regional capital is now considered on the frontline and is within artillery range.
Over the weekend industrial areas of Kherson were targeted by fire from multi-launch rocket systems (MLRS) from the left bank of the Dnipro River.
On Monday, a fresh wave of attacks from Russian forces was reported.
