Russian airstrikes on Sunday killed two people and wounded three others in southern Ukraine鈥檚 Kherson province, the region鈥檚 governor reported Sunday as entered a 20th month.

According to Gov. Oleksandr Prokudin, Russian forces struck the city of Beryslav, destroying an unspecified number of private houses. A woman was killed and three people were wounded, including a police officer, he said.

Another airstrike also killed a 67-year-old man in the village of Lvove, Prokudin said without specifying the type of weapons used in the attack.

The communities hit both are located in the Ukrainian-controlled part of the Kherson region, where the Dnieper River that bisects the province has marked a battle line since across it in November 2022, a retreat that boosted the invaded country鈥檚 morale.

The Russians regrouped on the river鈥檚 eastern bank and across the river, including the city of Kherson, the regional capital that was occupied early on in the war but retaken by Ukrainian forces more than 10 months ago.

In Russia, a Ukrainian drone hit an administrative building in the city of Kursk and 鈥渋nsignificantly damaged鈥 the roof, regional Gov. Roman Starovoit reported. He didn鈥檛 report any casualties or say what the building housed.

Unconfirmed media reports both in Russia and Ukraine said it was the offices of the Kursk branch of Russia鈥檚 main security agency, the Federal Security Service, also known as the FSB.

The Kursk region of Russia borders Ukraine and also is a frequent target of attacks. The drone strike on Sunday took place as residents commemorated the anniversary of the regional capital鈥檚 founding.

There was no immediate comment from the Ukrainian authorities, who usually don鈥檛 acknowledge responsibility for attacks on Russian territory.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was traveling home from North America, where he and paid his first wartime visit to Canada. In a social media statement Saturday, Zelenskyy said he stopped in Poland on his way back to Ukraine to give state awards to two Polish volunteers.

Zelenskyy apparently didn鈥檛 meet with any Polish officials, but in a post on X, previously known as Twitter, he thanked Poland for 鈥渋ts invaluable support and solidarity that helps defend freedom of our entire Europe.鈥

Poland has taken in large numbers of Ukrainian refugees and been a fierce supporter of neighboring Ukraine since Russian President Vladimir Putin sent troops into the country on Feb. 24, 2022. However, a trade dispute has recently tested the .

The Ukrainian government this month filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization against Poland, Hungary and Slovakia for , which are important for the war-weary country鈥檚 battered economy.

The three European Union member nations bristled at the move. Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki responded by saying his country was 鈥 because we are now arming ourselves with the most modern weapons.鈥

His remarks left many wondering if the is waning.
