Russia attacked Odesa’s port infrastructure with ballistic
missiles on May 23, killing two people and injuring eight, according to
regional governor Oleh Kiper.
Kiper said a 71-year-old Odesa resident died in hospital following the attack that also killed a port worker. Officials reported that the strike included two ballistic missiles aimed at a civilian facility “critical to global food security.”
“At today’s Russian attack, a port worker was killed; I extend my sincere condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased,” Kiper added.
Four of those injured are in critical condition, two were seriously wounded, and two more people sustained minor injuries.
