A Russian attack on Kherson in eastern Ukraine has killed one person and caused serious damage in the city’s centre, the region’s governor said, while a Russian drone strike killed another civilian in the frequently targeted city of Nikopol.

The attack on Kherson, which Russian forces seized early in the war but then abandoned a year ago, also wounded two people.
