Russian invasion - War against Ukraine: this is the situation

According to official information, Russia has fired on the railroad station in the city of Kherson in southern Ukraine. At the time of the attack, many civilians were waiting there for an evacuation train, said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi. The number of dead and injured is still being determined. The Ukrainian Interior Minister, Ihor Klymenko, meanwhile wrote on Telegram of one police officer killed and two others injured. The authorities announced that more than 100 civilians are now to be bussed out of the frontline city and taken to safety.

Kherson is the capital of the Kherson region of the same name in southern Ukraine. It was occupied by Russian troops shortly after the start of the war almost two years ago, but was liberated by the Ukrainians a few months later. Since then, the people of Kherson have been repeatedly subjected to heavy shelling by the Russian army, which continues to control areas on the opposite side of the Dnipro River.
