The Russian military struck a nine-storey building in downtown Kherson overnight, killing a woman, 59, says local governor Oleksandr Prokudin.
No less than 12 people were injured, including two rescuers. A man, 60, suffered a concussion. One more woman, 93, was admitted to hospital with a mine blast trauma and concussion.

The Russian military used 99 mortar, artillery, Grad and UAV shells in the past 24 hours, Prokudin says. A total of 12 shells were used against Kherson, striking residential quarters and a detached housing area. Four people were injured.
Russia’s military last shelled Kherson on 3 August, damaging a downtown church and injuring three passengers of a nearby trolleybus.
