Ukrainian forces launch counter-offensive around Kherson as fighting intensifies

Ukraine broke through Russia's defences around Kherson at several points, officials said as Volodymyr Zelensky told enemy soldiers defending the city to "run away" if they want to live.
Fighting was reported along a more than 100-mile stretch of front line in the south of Ukraine after the Ukrainian president announced the operation to retake Kherson on Monday night.
“The occupiers should know we shall oust them to the border, the line of which has not changed," Mr Zelensky said. “If they want to survive, it's time for the Russian military to run away. Go home.”
