Russian troops shelled the village of Soniachne in Kherson Oblast, killing a 48-year-old man, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin reported on Sept. 9.
The attack hit residential buildings in the settlement, Prokudin said.
According to the governor, as of 3 p.m. local time, Russia was continuing to shell the area.
Russia launched air and mortar strikes against two settlements in Kherson Oblast the day before, killing three people and wounding another five.
Ukraine liberated Kherson and other regional settlements on the Dnipro River’s west bank in November 2022.
Russian forces were pushed to the river's east bank, from where they have since been firing at the liberated territories, regularly resulting in civilian deaths and injuries.

Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.
We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.
Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?
