A Russian strike on the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson on Saturday left three people dead and two others wounded, authorities said, SIA refers to foreign media.
“Russian terrorists are shelling Kherson again,” Andriy Yermak, the head of Ukraine’s presidential office, said on messaging app Telegram.
Oleksandr Prokudin, the head of Kherson’s regional military administration, said the casualties occurred when a car was hit by a shell and caught fire.
The strike came two days after Russian artillery fire also killed three people in Kherson, according to the Ukrainian presidency.
Kherson is the capital of one of the four regions -- along with Donetsk, Lugansk and Zaporizhzhia -- that Russia claims to have annexed but does not fully control.
Despite Russia’s retreat from the city of Kherson late last year, it has been regularly pounded by Moscow’s troops.
According to the Kherson region administration, during the last day on March 10, Russian troops fired 71 times and fired 335 shells at the Ukrainian-controlled residential areas of the region.
The Russian Ministry of Defense admits that they destroyed more than 50 Ukrainian soldiers, three armored fighting vehicles, as well as the ammunition depot of the 124th Territorial Defense Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in one day.
