Kherson, Ukraine:
Ukraine said on Saturday that a Russian bomb fell overnight near an apartment in the southern city of Kherson, injuring a child, while a teenage boy died in shelling elsewhere.
Russia’s invasion has been going on for more than two years, with fierce fighting in the east and frequent attacks beyond the front lines.
“Last night, Russian troops attacked the city with bombs. The shells landed near a five-story building,” Kherson’s government said on social media.
It posted a video of a destroyed building with a large crater outside.
“A seven-year-old boy who was shelled is under medical supervision,” authorities said, adding that “the child’s life was not in danger.”
Officials in the central Dnipropetrovsk region said Russian shelling killed a teenager in the village of Chervonogrigorivka along the Dnieper River.
“A 16-year-old boy was killed. Another 22-year-old boy is being treated in hospital,” said the region’s head, Sergiy Lysak.
He said Russian troops shelled the village and damaged a “private residence.”
The Kiev Air Force said earlier that Russia launched 15 Iranian-made Shahed drones over the eastern Donetsk, central Dnipropetrovsk and Poltava regions, and 12 of them were shot down.
In the troubled eastern Donetsk region, Ukraine said on Saturday it had evacuated nearly 200 people, including 21 children, from frontline villages.
