At Least 18 Dead And 30 Wounded In Overnight Raids In The Odessa Region

At least 18 people, including two children, were killed when three Russian missiles struck a nine-storey residential building and a leisure center in the village of Sergiivka in southern Odessa, Ukrainian authorities said. Another 30 people were injured in the blasts, according to Deputy Chief of Staff of the Ukrainian President Kirill Tymoshenko. Authorities say the number is likely to rise as search and rescue operations continue. The Southern Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said that the buildings were hit by Kh-22 anti-ship air-to-surface missiles, which were fired by strategic Tu-22 bombers flying over the Black Sea. It is the same type of ammunition used by Russian forces during an attack on a shopping mall in central Ukraine on Monday that killed at least 18 people.
