Russian missile strike injures 3 in Odesa, rescue efforts ongoing
At least three people were injured in a morning Russian missile attack on Odesa, targeting civilian infrastructure, regional governor Oleh Kiper reported on Telegram on June 24.
A 19-year-old boy and two men aged 50 and 58 were
hospitalized. The exact number of victims is still being determined. A dog was
rescued from the rubble.
Locals reported a large plume of smoke at the site of the
attack. The fire is currently being extinguished. Rescue efforts are ongoing.
The Ukrainian Air Force had issued an air raid alert shortly
before the attack, warning of two missiles heading towards Odesa Oblast.
“Russia attacked Odesa Oblast with two cruise missiles,
probably Iskander-K. One of the missiles did not reach its target due to the
active counteraction of the air defenses,” the statement said.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
