Two people were killed and five wounded in Russian bombardment of the city of Kherson[/B], said the governor of the homonymous region Yaroslav Yanushevich.
The town of Kherson was retaken in November by Ukrainian forces during a major counter-offensive which led to the Russian forces' retreat on the eastern bank of the Dnieper.
"The enemy has again attacked the residential districts of Kherson," the governor states on his Telegram account, specifying that a maternity hospital, a cafe and a residential building were targeted by Russian shelling.
"Last night two people were killed by Russian shelling" in the area, the governor said, clarifying that electricity has been restored by almost 90% in the city and its surroundings.
Five more people were wounded when Russian artillery attacked with rocket launchers, tanks and mortar shells.
Prior to their turnaround in November, Russian forces destroyed the city's basic utility infrastructure and have bombed it several times since.
In Odessa, power outages continued today following yesterday's Russian drone attacks with kamikaze drones, said Sergei Brachuk, a spokesman for the local administration.
Ukrainian authorities also said that the power outages have also caused water supply disruptions in some districts of the city.
Last night, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensk said that more than 1.5 million people are without electricity in Odessa after Russian strikes with Iranian drones.
