• Three people from a family were murdered by Russian shelling in Kherson.
• And an 8-year-old boy was hurt.
• Putin claimed four areas of Ukraine had been annexed.

Three individuals from a family were murdered by Russian shelling on Sunday in Kherson, an area in southern Ukraine, according to local authorities.

Officials reported that two children were among the four people hurt when a shell landed in a house’s yard in the village of Burgunka.

“The Russian occupiers killed a family in the region of Kherson,” the regional administration said in a statement.

“Three people died at the scene of the tragedy — the father, mother and uncle.”

Additionally, the regional authorities said that an 8-year-old boy was hurt during the shelling in the same area.

Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, claimed in September that four areas of Ukraine, including Kherson, had been annexed.

Moscow ordered its soldiers to leave Kherson in November, handing the Russian army a humiliating loss.
