Kherson was recaptured by Ukrainian troops final month, marking a significant victory for Kyiv.

“Two people died and five were wounded,” governor Yaroslav Yanushevych mentioned on Telegram, in what he described as “massive shelling” on the town.

Emergency groups had been heading to the scene, Yanushevych mentioned.

Kherson, a metropolis with a pre-war inhabitants of round  300,000, was the one regional capital captured by Moscow.

Faced with a significant counter-offensive from Kyiv, Russian forces retreated from the town in November.

Ukrainian officers mentioned Russia destroyed “all critical infrastructure” earlier than retreating from Kherson.

Since then the town has been repeatedly shelled.

On Sunday Yanushevych reported that two folks had been killed in artillery and mortars assault.
