A civilian man was reportedly killed, and two people suffered injuries in the attack.

Russian forces also attacked a house in the city of Kherson, injuring a 102-year-old woman, regional governor Oleksandr Prokudin said. She was hospitalized with explosive and shrapnel injuries, he added.

Settlements in Kherson and Kharkiv oblasts are subjected to regular Russian strikes due to their proximity to the front line.
