The video was released by Russian news outlet Vesti-Krim and shows a shootout near the Kherson train station.

This morning, the spokeswoman for the southern Ukrainian command, Natalya Gumenyuk, announced that the shooting was provoked by the Russian occupiers.

An adviser to the Ukrainian president, Mykhailo Podoliak, said it was the result of rising tensions between various pro-Russian factions, which are preparing to retreat amid news of the advancing Ukrainian army.

Kiril Stremousov of the Moscow-appointed administration in Kherson reported that the city was calm this morning and that Kyiv was trying to attack, but without success, BTA noted.
