Six killed in Russian strike on Ukraine's Kherson

Six people were killed when Russian forces struck the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson on Tuesday morning, regional authorities said.

Another six people were wounded in the artillery strike on a central bus stop, which took place at around 9 a.m., prosecutors said in a statement.

Governor Oleksandr Prokudin said the strike also hit a central market while residents were shopping.

In southeastern Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia, one person was killed and six wounded after Russia hit residential buildings and infrastructure with aerial bombs, said regional governor Ivan Fedorov.

Russia has denied targeting civilians but has regularly struck towns and cities behind the front line of its 2 1/2-year-old invasion of Ukraine.
