Russian occupation forces attacked the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson around midday on Monday, killing a man, according to a report by Ukrainska Pravda.

The report did not specify the exact method of the attack, the precise location within the city, or whether there were any other casualties.

Background

Kherson has been a frequent target of Russian shelling and drone strikes since Ukrainian forces liberated the city from occupation in November 2022. The city sits on the right bank of the Dnipro River, only a short distance from Russian-controlled positions on the opposite bank, leaving it exposed to near-daily attacks on civilian areas.

Such strikes regularly result in civilian casualties, though no official statement from Ukrainian authorities or the Kherson regional administration regarding Monday's attack was included in the available report.
