Odesa's regional governor said 14 people were hospitalised in the blasts, including four children.
At least one person has been killed and 19 more injured in fresh Russian missile strikes on the port city of Odesa, officials have said.
Odesa's military administration said that the Transfiguration Cathedral of the Moscow-linked Ukrainian Orthodox Church was also severely damaged. Other clips uploaded to social media showed a distressed man walking inside the cathedral repeating: "The church is no longer .... Lord, have mercy."The UN's cultural agency, Unesco, has repeatedly urged Russia to cease attacks on Odesa. The city's historic centre was designated an endangered World Heritage by the organisation earlier this year, despite Russian opposition.
