One injured person has been hospitalized in critical condition.

A fire broke out due to the shelling, and a rescue team evacuated the people, the governor said.

Russian forces have increased their attacks on Kherson on the western bank of the Dnipro River since Ukrainian forces liberated the area a month ago.
