KYIV, September 1 (Reuters) –
A man was killed in a Russian bombardment in the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson on Friday and three people were injured in a missile strike on the central Vinnytsia region, authorities said Ukrainians.
The victim is a 34-year-old man who was killed in a residential area of Kherson around 12:50 p.m. local time (0950 GMT), the city’s military administration said.
The three civilians were injured when a Russian missile hit a business in the Vinnytsia region, the region’s governor said.
“They are receiving all the necessary assistance,” Serhi Borzov wrote on the Telegram messaging service.
The Ukrainian Air Force said it shot down a second missile overnight, over the central Kirovohrad region, the local governor said on Telegram.
Reuters was unable to immediately verify this information.
Moscow says it does not target civilians and that its strikes are only intended to reduce Ukraine’s combat capability.
Earlier this week, however, Ukraine reported the biggest attack on the capital in months. (Reporting Dan Peleschuk; French version Zhifan Liu and Mariana Abreu; editing by Jean-Stéphane Brosse and Kate Entringer)
