A Russian strike on the center of the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson killed seven people on Tuesday, the regional prosecutor’s office said.

Video published by the region’s governor showed debris and broken glass strewn around a market, while several bodies lay on the pavement.

Kherson city lies on the western bank of the Dnipro River, a de-facto front line between Russian forces in the east and Ukrainian forces in the west.

Russian forces withdrew from the city in November 2022, retreating to the other side of the Dnipro, but they have kept up intense shelling of Kherson.
