Russian missile attack on Odesa, Ukraine kills at least 3

Overnight Russian missile attacks killed three people in the Black Sea city of Odesa, Ukrainian officials said on Wednesday.

The three killed in Odesa were in a retail chain warehouse that was set ablaze during an attack that also damaged a business centre, an educational institution, a residential complex, and shops, Southern Military Command spokesperson Natalia Humeniuk said.

The residential section of a multi-purpose complex could be seen with a large hole in the wall on several upper floors, with a damaged McDonalds restaurant nearby.

The military spokesperson said six people had been injured in the building after an "air battle" took place.

Ukraine's air force said it had destroyed three Russian missiles and nine drones during the overnight strikes — the latest launched by Russia since its full-scale invasion in February 2022.

Pavlo Kyrylenko, governor of the Donetsk region, said two people had been killed in the city of Kramatorsk and one in the industrial city of Kostiantynivka.
