Russian forces attacked a residential area in the town of Bilozerka in Kherson Oblast on Sept. 3, killing a 35-year-old man and injuring his 36-year-old wife and 9-year-old daughter, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin reported.

The woman and girl were hospitalized. Another civilian, a 37-year-old local resident, suffered facial injuries.
