The man suffered shrapnel wounds to his torso and died while being rushed to the hospital, Roman Mrochko, the head of the Kherson City Military Administration, said.

The officials did not provide further information on the time and circumstances of his death.

The southern city of Kherson is a regular target of Russian strikes following its liberation in Ukraine's counteroffensive last fall.

Another child, an 11-year-old girl, was injured later during the day in a Russian attack on the village of Kindiika, the governor reported.
