Russian shelling in Ukraine's southern Kherson region on Tuesday killed one person and injured five more, the regional governor said.

The village of Antonivka came under attack, Oleksandr Prokudin said on Telegram. Four injured were hospitalized, he added.

Regional prosecutors said on Telegram that Russian troops used artillery to attack the village. A 56-year-old man was killed, they added.

Kherson and the surrounding region regularly come under Russian fire, with Moscow troops launching strikes from the occupied part of the region on the left bank of the Dnipro River.

Local officials report injuries from such attacks almost every day. On Monday, Russia dropped four guided bombs on Kherson, injuring at least 22 people, including two children, officials said.
