Escalated Russian shelling of the recently liberated Ukrainian city of Kherson killed 10 people, wounded dozens more and forced hospital evacuations, the Ukrainian government said Friday.
Kherson, the only regional capital captured by Russia in its nine-month-old war on its neighbor, has faced President Vladimir Putin’s wrath since Ukrainian soldiers recovered the city two weeks ago.
The intensified shelling in recent days has taken a growing toll on the southern Ukrainian city, forcing officials to relocate children from a pediatric medical facility to the nearby city of Mykolaiv, said Yaroslav Yanushevych, governor of Kherson.
