KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian forces have fired rockets on the Mykolaiv region in southern Ukraine. At least one person has been killed. And a Russian diplomat has called on Ukraine to offer security assurances so that international inspectors can visit a nuclear power station that has come under fire. The Mykolaiv region is just to the north of the Russian-occupied city of Kherson which Ukrainian forces have vowed to retake. Concern has grown sharply about the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant as fighting steps up in southern Ukraine. The facility has been held by Russian forces and has been hit by sporadic shelling. Both Ukraine and Russia blame each other for the shelling.
