Russian missiles have struck the southern Ukrainian city of Odesa for the third time this week, injuring around a dozen people.
The southwestern Ukrainian port city of Odesa was targeted by Russian missiles for the third time this week on Wednesday night, resulting in around a dozen injuries, according to local authorities.
City mayor Gennadiy Trukhanov wrote on Telegram that the “ballistics attack” had destroyed “civilian infrastructure” and injured 13 people.
He added that rescuers were fighting a large-scale fire without providing details.
Regional governor Oleh Kiper spoke of 14 injured people and listed one damaged target as a postal depot.
Odesa, a key Black Sea port through which the lion’s share of Ukraine’s economically vital grain exports passes, has regularly been targeted by Russian rockets and drones.
Five people were killed on Monday morning this week and three more on Wednesday morning.
