Missile strikes postal depot in Ukraine's Odesa, 14 injured
Ukrainian officials said a Russian missile attack injured 14 people Thursday at a postal facility in the southern city of Odesa, Reuters reports.
The attack was the third to hit the city this week, including strikes that killed a total of eight people.
Oleh Kiper, the regional governor of Odesa, said the latest attack was another crime committed by Russia against Ukrainian civilians.
Russia has denied targeting civilians during its invasion of Ukraine but has repeatedly struck Ukrainian cities with drones and missiles during more than two years of attacks.
Russian officials reported Ukrainian drone attacks Thursday targeting several regions.
Andrei Klychkov, the governor of the Oryol region, said Russian air defenses intercepted Ukrainian drones over two districts, but that energy infrastructure was damaged and there were power outages in the area.
In Smolensk, the regional governor, Vaisly Anokhin, said the Ukrainian drones tried to attack an energy facility.
Roman Staravoit, the governor in the Kursk region, said Russian forces downed a Ukrainian drone there, but that there was also damage to power lines.
The United States accused Russia Wednesday of breaching a global chemicals ban by deploying the choking agent chloropicrin against Ukrainian troops.
