A Russian missile attack on an educational institution in a popular seafront park in the Ukrainian Black Sea port of Odesa on Monday killed at least five people and injured 32, local officials said.
Regional governor Oleh Kiper, writing on the Telegram messaging app, said that in addition to those killed in the attack, one man died after suffering a stroke attributed to the strike. Kiper said eight of the injured were in serious condition, including a 4-year-old child. Among the injured were another child and a pregnant woman. Reuters Television footage showed the roof of the ornate building, a private law academy, all but destroyed after the strike.
Video footage, which could not be immediately verified, showed people receiving treatment on the street alongside pools of blood. One photo showed officials examining part of a missile. A student at the academy who identified herself by her first name, Maria, said the blaze was caused when the missile was intercepted. “In front of my eyes, a missile was shot down, this was just in front of me. My doors were blown open and the glass was shaking.
