KYIV, Ukraine: Three people were killed in a Russian missile attack in Odesa, the mayor of the southwestern Ukrainian port city said early Wednesday.
“The enemy attacked Odesa with ballistic missiles. As a consequence of the attack, three people were killed and three more wounded,” Gennadiy Trukhanov, mayor of Odesa, – a Black Sea port vital for Ukrainian exports – said on Telegram.
Governor of the Odesa region Oleg Kiper said on Telegram that all necessary medical assistance is provided to the injured.
There is damage to civil infrastructure, he added, without providing further information.
According to local officials, another Russian missile attack in Odesa on Monday killed five people.
Odesa is regularly targeted by deadly missile and drone attacks.
Moscow has relentlessly hit several cities of Ukraine for months and is making a push on the front in eastern Ukraine ahead of the arrival of crucial US military aid.
