KYIV - Russian forces shelled a front-line settlement in Ukraine's south-east Zaporizhzhia region on March 31, killing one person and injuring five, the regional governor said.
Mr Ivan Fedorov, writing on the Telegram messaging app, did not identify the settlement, but posted pictures of heavily damaged homes and other buildings alongside piles of rubble.
He said a 66-year-old woman had died in the attack.
Zaporizhzhia is one of four regions partly occupied by Russian forces.
Moscow claimed to have annexed all four regions seven months after sending tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine in February 2022.
