1 min read

One man was killed, and a woman was injured after Russian forces targeted a grocery store in the center of Kherson, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin reported on Nov 4.  

According to Prokudin, the attack began at around 7 p.m. local time. The injured woman was taken to the hospital for medical treatment.

Roman Mrochko, the head of the city's military administration, said the attack was launched from the east bank of the Dnipro River, which is currently under Russian occupation.

Earlier, the regional administration reported that Russian troops shelled the town of Beryslav, wounding a 47-year-old man.

Ukraine's Armed Forces liberated Kherson and other regional settlements along the Dnipro River's west bank in November 2022.

Russian forces were pushed to the east bank, from where they have since been firing at the liberated territories, regularly resulting in civilian deaths and injuries.

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski’s visit came days after the largest Russian drone incursion into Polish airspace during a mass strike on Ukraine, in what Polish officials describe as a "deliberately targeted" strike and provocation.

When asked about the Ukraine-Russia talks, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov replied that communication channels have been established and exist, but as of now, "it’s more accurate to say there is a pause" in dialogue.
