Two people were killed, and many were wounded from Russian airstrikes Sunday, in southern Ukraine’s Kherson province, the region’s governor, Oleksandr Prokudin, reported.
Russian forces struck residences in the city of Beryslav, killing a woman and wounding three people, including a police officer, he said.
Another airstrike killed a 67-year-old man in the village of Lvove, Prokudin said.
Both communities are in the Ukrainian part of the Kherson region on the western bank of the Dnipro River.
The Russians regularly shell cities and villages, including the city of Kherson, from across the river.
In Russia, a Ukrainian drone struck an administrative building in the city of Kursk and « insignificantly damaged » the roof, regional Gov. Roman Starovoit reported.
Unconfirmed media reports both in Russia and Ukraine said the building housed the offices of the Kursk branch of Russia’s main security agency, the Federal Security Service, also known as the FSB.
The drone strike Sunday took place as residents commemorated the anniversary of the regional capital’s founding. No casualties were reported in Russia.
There was no immediate comment from the Ukrainian authorities, who usually don’t acknowledge responsibility for attacks on Russian territory.
As Ukraine’s defensive war against Russian aggression enters its 20th month, the Ukrainian military released additional footage Sunday from the battle for the village of Andriivka, which Kyiv’s forces say they reclaimed September 15. They consider it an important steppingstone to liberating the ravaged city of Bakhmut.

The new video, released by Maksym Zhorin, deputy commander of Ukraine’s Third Separate Assault Brigade, shows Ukrainian fighters advancing through ‘a forest belt scorched by the fighting,’ CNN reports.
The fighters were engaged ‘in close combat and clearing out enemy dugouts and holes,’ the brigade said.
