A Russian missile attack on Odesa killed at least three and injured at least 20, Kiper originally reported on April 29, with Odesa Mayor Gennadiy Trukhanov confirming the casualty figures.
“As it stands, the death toll as a result of the attack has risen to three; my sincere condolences to the victims’ families,” said Trukhanov.
The ballistic missile attack damaged residential buildings and civilian infrastructure in the city.
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.
