KYIV, Aug 7 (Reuters) - A woman was killed early on Monday when Russian forces shelled the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson, while two other people were killed in Russian shelling of border areas of the Kharkiv region in northeast Ukraine, officials said.
Both the city of Kherson and parts of the Kharkiv region are directly adjacent to the front line.
The Ukrainian military has reported increased Russian attacks in the Kharkiv region in recent days.
Ukraine recaptured Kherson city and parts of the Kherson region in November after months of Russian occupation, but Russian forces regularly shell the city and surrounding areas from across the Dnipro River.
This month a doctor was killed and five medical workers were wounded in Russian shelling of a Kherson hospital.
