Kiev [Ukraine], December 2: Two people were killed by Russian artillery fire at a bus stop in the southern Ukrainian region of Kherson, authorities said on Saturday.
The regional prosecutor's office said another woman was hospitalized after the incident in the village of Antonivka, east of Kherson. An investigation into the incident has been launched, authorities said.
According to the United Nations, more than 12,000 civilians have been killed since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
However, the UN says that the real number of casualties could be much higher.
Also on Saturday, the Ukrainian military reported heavy fighting along the front lines in the eastern Donbass region as Russia continued to launch attacks.
Fierce clashes were reported in the key areas of Pokrovsk and Kurakhove, which are the focal point of the Russian advance in eastern Ukraine. (DPA)
