Odessa is a major city in Ukraine, located on the Black Sea coast. An educational institution was among the structures destroyed by the Russian attack on the city. It is called “Harry Potter Castle” due to its striking resemblance to Scottish architecture. (Russian Missile Strike)
Metal fragments and missile debris were found within a radius of 1.5 km from the strike site. The officers of the Russian Armed Forces deliberately decided to use this particular weapon to kill as many Ukrainian civilians as possible. There is reason to believe this is under investigation,” a Ukrainian official said in one post.
Russia, on the other hand, has said that its air defense systems in Crimea successfully intercepted a major missile and drone attack by Ukraine. Kremlin-appointed Sergei Aksyonov, the top civilian official in occupied Crimea, has warned people not to approach a potentially unexploded ordinance, while one of his officials urged people not to film or post videos of Russian air defenses, CNN reported.
Russia cynically neglects all norms of international humanitarian law. Last night, the enemy sneakily attacked Odesa. Five people died, more than 30 were injured. Among the injured are two children and a pregnant woman. Five wounded are in critical condition.
