Russian shelling in Kherson killed two, damaged power and railway infrastructure. Energy truce claims are disputed by both sides.
(Reuters) - Russian shelling on Thursday killed at least two people, damaged railway infrastructure and partially disrupted power supplies in Ukraine's southern city of Kherson, officials said.
Ukraine and Russia have accused each other of flouting a truce on energy strikes brokered by the United States. The Kremlin contends it has already been implementing a pause on energy attacks since March 18 but Ukrainian officials say Russia has attacked several Ukrainian energy facilities since then.
The regional governor said on Telegram that "massive shelling" killed a 55-year-old woman and a man at a public transport station.
At least five people were wounded, Roman Mrochko, the head of Kherson's military administration, said on Telegram.
A city train station came under shelling as well, Ukraine's state railway company said. Power and water supply lines were damaged, as well as a train carriage, it added.
As a result of the partial power cuts, trolley-bus services were temporarily suspended, Mrochko said.
Kherson regularly comes under Russian shelling and drone attacks. Moscow's troops occupy part of the surrounding region, three years on from Russia's February 2022 full-scale invasion.
