Eight killed in missile strike on Odesa apartment block of mariupol

At least eight people, including a three-month-old baby, have died after Russian missile strikes in the major port city of Odesa, President Zelensky says.

Odesa has been shelled before by Russian forces, but much less than other cities such as Mariupol.

Caroline Davies was at the scene and spoke to one man outside the apartment block, who said he had been in his parents’ apartment on the 12th floor when there was a huge explosion. Read more of Caroline’s report here.

Russia later confirmed it had carried out strikes in the area.
