Five people have been killed in a Russian missile attack on Odesa, according to Ukraine's presidential chief of staff. The dead included a three-month-old baby.
Russia fired cruise missiles at the Black Sea port city of Odesa today (April 23). It comes as Russia also attacked a steel plant in the port city of Mariupol.
An estimated 1,000 civilians are sheltered in the Azovstal plant alongside the remaining Ukrainian fighters, while Russian forces pressed their offensive elsewhere in the eastern Donbas region amid fierce Ukrainian counterattacks. The presidential adviser, Oleksiy Arestovich, said during a briefing that Russian forces had resumed airstrikes on the massive seaside plant and were trying to storm it, which would represent a reversal from an order Russian President Vladimir Putin gave two days earlier.
