Fierce fighting in Kherson, Ukraine claims to kill more than 100 Russian soldiers

The Kiev military also admitted destroying two ammunition dumps in the region, the focus of a counter-offensive for Kiev and cutting off a major supply line for Moscow troops.

Ukraine’s southern military command said rail traffic to Kherson over the Dnipro River had been cut. This tactic has the potential to further isolate Russian troops west of the river from supplies in Crimea.
