Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday that Russian shelling in southern Ukraine’s Kherson left three people dead and six wounded, while an elderly woman was killed in a missile strike in eastern Kharkiv, the regional governor said.

“The Russian army barbarically shelled Kherson for days on end (…). The hospital, post office, railway station were damaged. Two nurses were injured in the hospital. In total, six wounded and three dead are reported,” the President of Ukraine said in his daily address, which was broadcast on Sunday evening.

The regional administration previously spoke of three dead and six wounded, including a nurse.

In Kharkov, the head of the regional military administration spoke about a Russian missile attack on a “four-story residential building.”

“Three victims received minor injuries. Unfortunately, an elderly woman died,” official Oleg Sinekhubov said on Telegram. “Her husband was very close when the impact occurred, but miraculously was not seriously injured,” she continued. The residents were escorted out of the building. “Emergency services continue their work in the field,” Mr. Sinekhubov added in his post on Sunday night into Monday.

Mr. Sinegubov told the Suspilnoe news website that rescuers are looking for another elderly woman who is believed to be buried under the rubble.

In a Russian-controlled area in neighboring Zaporozhye Oblast (south), Moscow-appointed authorities reported four deaths in a Ukrainian attack on a railway bridge.

On the front in southern Ukraine, where the Russian army withdrew from Kherson in November, it was generally calmer than in the east, where fierce fighting is taking place, but shelling from one side and the other never stopped, with hostilities being the last to resume . a week in the Zaporozhye region.

The head of the pro-Russian administration of Zaporozhye, Evgeny Balitsky, accused Kyiv forces of launching a strike “from a HIMARS multiple launch rocket system on a railway bridge across the Malochnaya River.”

“Four railway workers were killed, five were injured, they are being treated,” Mr. Balitsky added. The bridge is located near the Svetlandinskoye dacha, north of Melitopol, which is controlled by Russian troops. Repair work is underway on the bridge, according to a pro-Russian official.
