Russian Attack on Odesa Kills 3 as Ukraine Strikes Ships in Black Sea

Russian attacks on the port of Odesa have caused more fatalities as Moscow increasingly targets shipping infrastructure.

The attacks come as European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen visits Kyiv to discuss cooperation between European and Ukrainian defence industries.

A missile strike hit a residential high-rise, killing three people and injuring at least three others, while rescue workers pulled three residents — including two children — from the damaged building.

Odesa has declared 16 July a day of mourning for the three people killed in the Russian missile attack on the city on 15 July.
