In the village of Stanislav two men aged 57 and 71 were killed, officials said, adding that a woman was wounded. Kherson was one of four regions in Ukraine that Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed to have annexed last year. Late last year, Russian troops withdrew from the city of Kherson but Moscow has continued to target settlements in the region.
