Russian aerial bombs kill two in Beryslav, south Ukraine 

Two people were killed in a Russian air force strike on the town of Beryslav in Ukraine’s Kherson region on Monday, Kherson governor Oleksandr Prokudin has announced.

Russia dropped four aerial bombs on the town, destroying a house and a non-residential building, Prokudin said, adding that two senior citizens had suffered fatal injuries, and two people were hospitalised, one of whom is in critical condition.

The governor of the Odesa governor, Oleh Kiper, said on Monday that one person had been killed in an overnight attack on Odesa in southwestern Ukraine: one body has so far been retrieved from the rubble. One more grain warehouse employee remains unaccounted for. 

A nationwide air raid alert was issued in Ukraine after the country’s air force reported a Shahed kamikaze drone strike on the southwestern Odesa region in the early hours of Monday morning. Seaport infrastructure in Odesa was damaged, Kiper said, as were several non-residential buildings in the city.
