KHERSON: Ukraine said Thursday that at least one civilian was killed in Russian shelling of the Kherson city centre, as the region deals with massive flooding from the destruction of a dam in Russian-held territory.
"Due to targeted strikes by the occupiers during evacuations in the city, a civilian died. Two more people were wounded," the Kherson prosecutor's office said.
