Russian attacks killed at least three people in Ukraine's south and injured 10 more on Thursday, local authorities said, after an overnight barrage of missiles and drones.
Two men, aged 56 and 61, were killed, and five more were wounded in artillery shelling on Nikopol, the regional governor said on the Telegram messenger.
He added that the attack sparked a fire and damaged a shop and civilian infrastructure.
One person was killed during a Russian air strike on Kherson, which also injured a teenager and four adults, the mayor said.
Moscow's forces regularly attack both cities from their positions across the Dnipro river.
The Ukrainian air force said earlier that Russia had launched five missiles and 75 drones during an overnight attack, while Russia said it had destroyed or intercepted 71 Ukrainian drones over six Russian regions overnight.
The violence has continued despite US President Donald Trump's efforts to arrange a ceasefire in the three-year-old war prompted by Russia's all-out invasion of Ukraine.
Top Ukrainian officials made a previously unannounced visit on Thursday to Paris, where European and US officials were due to hold talks on Ukraine.
