July 1 (Reuters) – Russia attacked five retail fuel stations in ​Ukraine’s southeastern Dnipropetrovsk ‌region overnight, killing a woman, regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha said on ‌the ​Telegram messaging ⁠app on ⁠Wednesday.

He said three other people were injured.

Russia has been striking fuel ​stations, but the attacks have ⁠intensified recently, ⁠with Ukrainian authorities ​in frontline Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, ​Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions ‌reporting nearly daily attacks.

In the city of Kherson in the ⁠south, a drone attack on a passenger bus ⁠killed ‌two and left ⁠another five wounded, ​regional ‌governor Oleksandr Prokudin ​said ⁠separately on Wednesday.
