The Russian occupation authorities in Ukraine's southern city of Kherson have postponed a so-called referendum on joining Russia, on security grounds.
"This is being paused because of the security situation," said Kirill Stremousov, deputy head of the Russian-appointed administration there.
He said heavy Ukrainian shelling had made a key Kherson bridge impassable.
Ukraine and its Western allies have denounced the referendum plans in Kherson and other areas as illegal.
Meanwhile, Ukraine says its forces have recaptured Vysokopillya, a small town some 167km north of central Kherson.
