Russian forces strike apartment block in Kherson

Authorities in Kherson have released a video it said was the aftermath of the Russian shelling of a residential building. But officials said that no civilians were injured in the attack. The strike comes just weeks after Ukrainian forces have re-taken the area.

Russian forces have parked on the other side of the Dnipro river with Kherson within reach of their artillery.

"I'm in Ukraine at this point in time out of solidarity with the victims of this horrible war, which was caused by the invasion of the Russian Federation on the 24th of February,” he said.

“I'm here to express solidarity."
