Russian drones kill two in Ukraine's southern Kherson region, governor says

Russian drones killed two people on Monday in Ukraine's southern Kherson region, regional governor Oleksander Prokudin said.

Prokudin, writing on the Telegram messaging app, said a woman was killed in the region's main town, also known as Kherson, and a man died in an area north of the city along the Dnipro River.

Russian forces remain in control of larges swathes of Kherson region despite a Ukrainian counter-offensive in late 2022 that recaptured the city of Kherson and other areas.
