A 24-hour curfew has been imposed in the Russian-controlled city of Kherson, a local Moscow-installed official has said.
Kirill Stremousov, the Russia-backed deputy governor of the Kherson region, said in a video message posted on Telegram that the measure was necessary “in order to defend our city of Kherson” from what he referred to as “terrorist attacks”.
Stremousov repeated earlier calls for civilians to leave Kherson city, saying that columns of Ukrainian vehicles had been spotted on areas of the frontline and that an attack was possible.
Ukrainian forces have in recent weeks drawn closer to the city, the only regional capital to fall to Moscow since it launched its invasion on February 24.
