KIEV — A Russian missile strike on Ukraine’s southern city of Odesa killed at least eight people on Monday, according to Odesa Governor Oleh Kiper.
Kiper said on Telegram that at least 18 people, including a child, were also injured in the strike, while Lawmaker Oleksii Honcharenko said that the attack ignited two residential buildings.
Earlier on Sunday, a Russian ballistic missile attack killed at least 11 people and injured 89 others in Ukraine’s northeastern city of Sumy, according to the State Service for Emergencies.
One missile hit a nine-story apartment building within a densely populated residential area, while another struck critical infrastructure, leaving the city without power. The strikes damaged at least six apartment buildings and 14 vehicles, forcing about 400 people to evacuate.
