(Reuters) – Six people were killed when Russian forces struck the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson on Tuesday morning, regional authorities said.
Another six people were also 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.
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.
