Russia attacks retail fuel stations in Ukraine, killing one, official says


July 1 (Reuters) - ⁠Russia attacked five retail ⁠fuel stations in Ukraine's ‌southeastern Dnipropetrovsk region overnight, killing a woman, regional governor Oleksandr ​Hanzha said on ⁠the Telegram messaging ⁠app on Wednesday.

He said three ⁠other ‌people were injured.

Russia has been ⁠striking fuel stations, but the ​attacks ‌have intensified recently, with Ukrainian ⁠authorities ​in frontline Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions ⁠reporting nearly daily attacks.

In ​the city of Kherson in the south, a drone ⁠attack on a passenger bus killed two and left another five wounded, ​regional governor Oleksandr ⁠Prokudin said separately on ​Wednesday.
