KYIV: A Russian attack on Ukraine’s Black Sea port of Odesa on Wednesday killed four people and injured six, a senior official said.

Serhiy Lysak, head of the city’s military administration, said on Telegram that the attack damaged infrastructure in the port, one of Ukraine’s key export centres.

One of the waves of drones sent by Russia hit a 25-storey building in the early afternoon, Kyiv’s Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on the Telegram app.

As well as the three deaths, 13 people including a child were injured in the attacks, two of them seriously, Klitschko added.
