Russian shelling has killed at least two people and injured 11 more in Ukraine’s southern port city of Mykolaiv near the Black Sea Coast on Monday, according to Vitalii Kim, head of the Mykolaiv region civil military administration, APA reports citing CNN.

The mayor of Mykolaiv condemned what he called Russia’s targeting of civilians.

Russia “cynically strikes at civilians,” says Mayor Oleksandr Senkevych said in a post on his Telegram channel.

Residential buildings and educational institutions were hit, he said, adding that rescue and emergency workers were on the scene.
