One dead in blast in Kherson, Moscow-installed official says

One person was killed by a homemade bomb in the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson today, according to the Russia-installed authorities in the region of the same name.

“An improvised explosive device, attached to a street pole and detonated remotely, killed a civilian from Kherson,” local pro-Russian official Kirill Stremousov writes on social media.

He says a passerby was wounded.

Faced with an advancing counteroffensive by Ukrainian troops, the pro-Kremlin authorities in Kherson region, which Moscow claims to have annexed, are moving residents of the city to Russian-controlled areas on the left bank of the Dnieper River.
