KYIV (Reuters) -At least four people died in Ukraine on Tuesday in incidents related to Russia's 18-month-old invasion of its neighbour, officials said.

Oleksander Prokudin, governor of southern Kherson region, said three people were killed by explosions in fields caused by mines and other devices left behind by Russian troops who abandoned much of the region last November.
