KYIV, UKRAINE —Russia and Ukraine exchanged drone, missile and artillery attacks on Saturday as Kyiv marked its third Independence Day since Moscow's full-scale invasion.
A woman was killed and a man wounded when Russian forces shelled the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson, the capital of the partially occupied Kherson region, according to the regional prosecutor.
Ukraine's air force said it had intercepted and destroyed seven drones over the country's south. Russian long-range bombers also attacked the area of Zmiinyi (Snake) Island with four cruise missiles, while the wider Kherson region was also struck by aerial bombs.
In Russia, the Defense Ministry said Saturday that air defenses had shot down seven drones overnight.
Five drones were downed over the southwestern Voronezh region bordering Ukraine, wounding two people, regional Governor Aleksandr Gusev said. News outlet Astra published videos appearing to show explosions at an ammunition depot after being hit by a drone. The videos could not be independently verified.
Two people were wounded in a drone attack in the Belgorod region, also bordering Ukraine, regional Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said. Local authorities did not report any casualties in the Bryansk region, where the fifth drone was intercepted.
In the Kursk region, where Ukrainian forces launched their surprise offensive into Russia two weeks ago, regional Governor Alexei Smirnov said Saturday that three missiles were shot down overnight and another four on Saturday morning.
Russian air defenses shot down two more drones on Saturday morning, Russia's Defense Ministry said - one over the Kursk region and one over the Bryansk region.
