The Russian army has launched a missile strike on the city of Odesa. Four people have been killed and 32 injured, and a fire has broken out in the house of former MP Serhii Kivalov, which is owned by the International Humanitarian University.

“Sadly, two people and a dog were killed in the Russian missile attack. Eight more people received injuries of varying degrees of severity. One of those injured is a 12-year-old boy. They are receiving the necessary treatment from the medics. There is damage to residential buildings and civilian infrastructure”, - writes Oleh Kiper, Head of Odesa Oblast Military Administration, on Telegram.

As he added later, the Russians used a ballistic missile, likely with a cluster munition, to hit one of the most popular locations among Odesa residents and visitors, where people were out walking with their children and dogs, and playing sport. He said these munitions are used to destroy military personnel and pose a threat primarily to people, not to equipment or buildings.

Sources in law enforcement agencies told Ukrainska Pravda that 17 people have been reported injured and 4 people killed.
