Russian shelling kills three, wounds infant in Ukraine, Kyiv says

Russian shelling on Monday damaged a hospital and homes in the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson, killing three people and injuring at least 12, including a 2-month-old infant, local governor Oleksandr Prokudin said.

Russian troops abandoned Kherson and the western bank of the Dnipro River in the region late last year, but now regularly bombard those areas from positions on the eastern bank. Locals usually face rounds of air alerts during the day.

Two people were killed and 10 more injured in an afternoon combined attack in the central part of the city, Prokudin said.

"Eight vehicles, including one ambulance, an administrative building, a hospital, and at least fifteen houses were destroyed or damaged," he added.

Prokudin shared a video, showing buildings with shell holes and shattered windows, piles of construction waste around the street, and a totally burnt ambulance.

In a separate message, the governor said that earlier on Monday a car was shot at in a suburb of Kherson, killing one person and wounding a 2-month-old infant and his mother.

"This burnt-out pile of scrap metal just a few hours ago was the car that the family was returning from a medical examination," he added, sharing a video of firefighters working at the site.

Reuters could not independently confirm reports.
