At least one killed, two hurt in Russian shelling in Kherson region

KYIV (Reuters): At least one person was killed and two injured during Russian shelling of the southern Ukrainian Kherson region, local governor Oleksandr Prokudin said on Thursday.

“The enemy fire damaged residential buildings and a grocery store. A critical infrastructure facility was also destroyed,” Prokudin said on the Telegram messaging app.

Russian troops abandoned Kherson and the western bank of the Dnipro River in the region late last year, but now regularly shell those areas from positions on the eastern bank.

Reuters could not independently confirm the report.
