Russian forces reportedly carried out the attack at around 4 p.m.

The man was killed in the street, and the woman was hospitalized with shrapnel wounds and blast injuries, the governor said.

No further details on the consequences of the attack were provided.

Dniprovske lies at the Dnipro River, around 10 kilometers west of Kherson.

Russian attacks on Kherson Oblast over the past day resulted in three people killed and 11 injured, including three children, Prokudin reported early on Nov. 24.
