KYIV: Ukrainian forces pressed their counteroffensive to retake the Russian-occupied southern region of Kherson, while a team of United Nations experts was on their way to inspect the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which was targeted by fresh shelling over the weekend.

Kherson and its eponymous capital have been contested by Russian troops since the war broke out six months ago.
