Ukraine talks LIVE: Top Trump’s official in Europe as Russia kills child in new attack | World | News

Russian glide bombs and artillery struck a city in southern Ukraine on Wednesday, killing one person and wounding nine others as Moscow forces continued daily attacks across the country.

The city of Kherson was struck with glide bombs on Wednesday morning, and when rescue teams arrived at the scene, Russian forces launched an artillery barrage, said the region’s head, Oleksandr Prokudin.

He said: “This is a deliberate tactic by Russia to hinder the rescue of the injured and harm doctors, rescuers, and police.”

The attack damaged a sports facility, a supermarket, residential buildings and civilian vehicles, Prokudin added.

The strike on Kherson followed other deadly attacks in recent days. On Palm Sunday, two Russian ballistic missile hit the northeastern city of Sumy near the Russian border, killing 35 people and injuring more than 100 others in the deadliest attack on Ukrainian civilians this year.

The Russian military said that the strike targeted a gathering of senior military officers, but did not offer evidence.
