Berlin, 13 November 2023 (dpa/MIA) - Three people were killed and 17 injured by Russian shelling on the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson and the surrounding area on Monday, a regional leader said on Monday.

Governor Oleksandr Prokudin said on Telegram that two people died from Russian artillery fire in the centre of city. Another 10 civilians were injured there, he said.

Outside of the city, an elderly man was killed; his daughter and her 2-month-old baby were among the injured.

The northern part of the Kherson region was liberated by the Ukrainian army a year ago. The southern part is still occupied by Russian troops, who shell the Ukrainian-controlled communities from the eastern bank of the Dnipro River.
