A Russian attack against the village of Veletenske in Kherson Oblast on May 30 killed a man, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin reported.

The resident suffered serious injuries on the street and died while being transported to the hospital, the governor said. No further details were provided at the moment.

Veletenske lies only a few kilometers across the Dnipro River delta from Russian-occupied parts of Kherson Oblast and some 15 kilometers (9 miles) west of the regional center, Kherson.

Ukraine's Armed Forces liberated Kherson and other settlements on the west bank of the Dnipro River during a counteroffensive in the fall of 2022.

Russian troops were pushed to the river's east bank, from where they have since been firing at the liberated territories, regularly resulting in civilian deaths, as well as large-scale destruction of homes and infrastructure.

Russian attacks against Kherson Oblast injured six people overnight and on May 29, Prokudin said in his morning report on May 30.

Death toll in Russia’s May 25 attack on Kharkiv rises to 19, Governor says
The man had suffered severe burns over 50% of his body as a result of the strike and ensuing fire, Governor Oleh Syniehubov said.

Сeasefire would leave 25% of Ukraine under Russian control, ambassador says.

"Many countries have proposed the idea of a ceasefire, but no one thinks about what it means. Some 25% of Ukrainian territory would remain under Russian control, which means buying time for Russia to strengthen its capabilities and resume its attacks on Ukraine," Ambassador of Ukraine to Turkey Vasyl Bodnar said.
