A Russian strike on Ukraine’s recently recaptured city of Kherson killed at least 10 people, wounded another 58, and left bloodied corpses on the road, authorities said, in what Kyiv condemned as wanton killing for pleasure. | Reuters
Kherson regional governor Yaroslav Yanushevych told national television the death toll had risen to 10, up from seven reported earlier, Interfax Ukraine news agency said.
“There were civilians there, each of whom lived their own life, went about their own business,” he said, noting a girl selling phone Sim cards, others unloading items from a truck, and passers-by. Ukraine retook the city, the only regional capital Russia had since its Feb. 24 invasion, in November. Since then, Kyiv says Russian forces have heavily shelled the city from across the vast Dnipro river.Since February, Ukraine has driven Russian forces from the areas around Kyiv and second biggest city Kharkiv. Moscow is now focused on holding its occupied areas in the south and east – around a fifth of Ukraine.
Ukrainian officials say Moscow has already fired over 1,000 rockets at the power grid, and have warned of a bitter winter with huge deficits of power and water pumping capacity, undermining central heating in most Ukrainian homes.
