A Russian drone attack on a bus in Ukraine's southern city of Kherson killed two people and wounded seven more, officials said.
Most of the casualties were public utilities workers, regional governor Oleksandr Prokudin added on Telegram on Saturday.
He posted images from the site that showed the bus with blown-out windows and a body with traces of blood lying on its floor.
"Such attacks are part of a systemic policy of terror against the civilian population," Dmytro Lubinets, Ukraine's human rights ombudsman, said on the Telegram app.
Kherson, the only regional capital seized by Russian forces, was recaptured by Ukrainian troops in 2022 but has increasingly come under attack from Russian forces across the Dnipro River.
Ukrainian officials have accused Moscow's troops of deliberate and systemic small-drone attacks on civilians across areas close to the frontline, in particular in Kherson.
The southern Odesa region, targeted by Russian strikes almost daily over the last couple of months, also came under attack overnight, the regional governor Oleh Kiper said.
A warehouse and neighbouring buildings were damaged at a port, he added on Telegram.
Ukraine's air force said it downed 142 out of 163 long-range drones launched by Russia overnight.
