World
A 19-year-old boy and two middle-aged men were taken to hospital, Kiper said
KYIV (Reuters) – A Russian attack on Ukraine's southern city of Odesa struck civilian infrastructure and injured at least three people on Monday morning, regional governor Oleh Kiper said.
A 19-year-old boy and two middle-aged men were taken to hospital, Kiper said on the Telegram messaging app.
Ukraine's interior ministry published pictures of a massive cloud of smoke rising from the site where emergency services were working to put out a fire.
The air force had warned the city's residents of the threat of incoming missiles before the explosions sounded.
Odesa has been a frequent target of Russian forces in the 28-month-long full-scale invasion, with many attacks aimed at the city's port facilities. Russia denies targeting civilians or civilian infrastructure.
