Russian Missiles Kill 21 in Residential Area in Odessa Region, Ukraine Says
Russian missile strikes on a neighborhood in the southern Ukrainian region of Odessa killed at least 21 people, some of them children, according to Ukrainian officials.
The overnight attack—the latest in a surge of Russian strikes—was launched from a strategic bomber over the Black Sea hours after the conclusion of a North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit where President Biden promised to support Ukraine “for as long as it takes.
Russia has increasingly used its strategic bombers to launch antiship missiles at Ukrainian targets. Earlier this week, a similar strike on a shopping mall in central Ukraine killed at least 20 people, and a barrage of missiles hit the capital city of Kyiv after weeks of relative calm there.
“Russia must be held accountable for its crimes,” said Serhiy Bratchuk, spokesman for the Odessa regional administration, adding that the Russians had used Soviet X-22 rockets. “The warhead of such a missile alone weighs almost a ton.”
