One person has been reported killed in addition to the six injured after Russian forces shelled the area around Kherson's central market, Suspilne wrote on April 18, citing a local paramedic.
The shelling also caused glass in the main pavilion and stalls to break, according to Suspilne.
Andriy Yermak, head of the president's office, originally reported at 10:27 a.m. local time that six people had been injured by the attack.
Russian forces have been heavily shelling the liberated parts of Kherson Oblast since withdrawing from the west bank of the Dnipro River in the area in November 2022.
On April 16, Russian forces shelled Kherson Oblast 46 times, firing 170 shells from heavy artillery, drones, and air forces.
Residential areas in Kherson were targeted three times, according to the Kherson Oblast military administration. No casualties were reported.

Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.
We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.
Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?
