A local resident was killed in an early morning air attack on Ukraine's southern Kherson region, the governor Oleksandr Prokudin said on Wednesday.
"At about 07:20, the enemy dropped a guided aerial bomb on a residential area of the city (of Beryslav). It hit a house. Unfortunately, a 42-year-old man was fatally wounded," Prokudin said on the Telegram messaging app.
Kyiv drove Russian forces out of part of the Kherson region last November after several months of occupation, but Russian troops have continued shelling the regional capital and areas around it from across the Dnipro River.
Prokudin said that over the past 24 hours, Russian forces had carried out 35 aerial attacks on the Kherson region.
Earlier this week, local authorities ruled on the mandatory evacuation of families with children from the three districts of the Kherson region due to the ongoing bomb attacks.
The authorities said 802 children and their families from 23 settlements must be evacuated.
