Russian forces struck the settlement of Novovorontsovka in Ukraine's Kherson region throughout the day, killing a 77-year-old woman and injuring three other people, according to Ukrainian officials.
The attacks on the settlement continued over the course of the day, local authorities said, adding to the toll of casualties in a region that has repeatedly come under Russian fire since Ukrainian forces regained control of parts of Kherson in 2022.
Kherson region, much of which lies near the front line and the Dnipro river, has remained a frequent target of strikes, with settlements along and near the river regularly reporting shelling and drone attacks on residential areas.
Ukrainian officials have said Russian forces target civilian areas in the region, a characterization Moscow has denied, saying it targets only military objects.
Authorities did not immediately provide further details on the extent of damage in Novovorontsovka or on the condition of the three people injured in the attacks.
