Russian missiles hit civilian infrastructure in Ukraine's port city of Odesa
Russian forces fired seven Kalibr cruise missiles at the Odesa region. The Russian Defense Ministry said strikes on the village of Bilenke had a legitimate military goal and “destroyed depots of ammunition for weapons supplied by the United States and European countries.”“These strikes on peaceful people have one goal - to intimidate the population and the authorities and keep them in constant tension,” Serhiy Bratchuk, the speaker of the Odesa regional government, told Ukrainian television.
At least two civilians were killed and 15 more were wounded by Russian shelling across the country over the past 24 hours, Ukraine's presidential office said in a morning update. “The infrastructure of the cities is being methodically destroyed by missile strikes, and the civilian population, cut off from bare necessities, suffers the most,” Donetsk Gov. Pavlo Kyrylenko said in televised remarks.
