Russia claims full control over Kherson region
The Metro says Russia claims it has taken over the southern Ukrainian region of Kherson.
Its defence ministry spokesperson Igor Konashenkov said on Tuesday that Russian forces are now in full control of all territory in the region, according to Russian news agencies.
Russian forces shot down six Bayraktar TB-2 drones in the last 24 hours, the Interfax news agency reported, citing the ministry.
The reports have not been independently verified and Russia has made countless claims during its invasion of Ukraine which have not been true.
But it comes after the country took the city of the same name and explosions reverberated overnight around the Black Sea port.
