Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said at least 21 people have been killed in Russian strikes on Ukraine’s southern Kherson region on Wednesday, as local authorities announced the introduction of a curfew in the main eponymous city.

“As of now, 21 people have been killed! 48 wounded!”, Zelenskyy said on Telegram. He said the shelling hit “a railway station and a crossing, a house, a hardware store, a grocery supermarket and a gas station”.
