KHERSON, Ukraine (Reuters) - Russian shelling killed 23 people in and near the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson on Wednesday, hitting a hypermarket, a railway station and residential buildings, the regional governor said.

"The enemy's targets are the places where we live. Their targets are our lives, and the lives of our children," governor Oleksandr Prokudin said, announcing the latest death toll in an online video on Thursday.
