Russia has stepped up its attacks on the southern port city in recent weeks with a series of deadly drone and missile strikes.
A Russian missile attack has hit civilian infrastructure in Ukraine’s Black Sea port city of Odesa, killing at least 14 people and wounding 46, Ukrainian officials say.
Russia has stepped up its strikes on Odesa in recent weeks, launching drones or missiles almost every day.
“As a result of the Russian missile attack, 14 people were killed, including local residents, a medic and a rescuer,” Oleh Kiper, the regional governor, said on Telegram.
The medic and rescuer were killed by a second missile after rushing to the scene to treat people hurt in Friday’s initial strike, Kiper added.
Ten houses, a low-pressure gas pipeline and rescue vehicles were damaged, emergency services said.
