Moscow: At least seven people have been killed and more than 60 injured in an attack by Ukrainian armed forces in the Russian-held town of Nova Kakhovka in Ukraines southern Kherson region, according to Russian-backed officials.
Russian state news agency TASS said Monday's attack caused an explosion at fertilizer warehouses that damaged surrounding buildings. Ukrainian officials said their forces had destroyed an ammunition depot in Nova Kakhovka.
Military experts say Russia is using artillery barrages to pave the way for a renewed push for territory by ground forces. Russian President Vladimir Putin said he aims to hand control of Donbas to the separatists.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in Kyiv on Monday that Moscow had "a big advantage in artillery", and called on allies to provide additional military aid.
