Kherson Russian-appointed deputy governor Stremousov 'killed in car crash'

The Russian-installed deputy governor of Kherson, Kirill Stremousov, has been killed in a car crash, local officials and media say.

Mr Stremousov, 45, was appointed to his job two months after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
