US Secretary of State Marco Rubio voices openness to diverting weapons to Kyiv to support the US attack on Iran.
At least four people have been killed and more than a dozen others wounded after Russia struck two Ukrainian cities, as the war continues apace without the prospect of a quick resolution, with the world’s attention now focused on Iran.
The attacks early on Saturday hit Odesa and Kryvyi Rih, damaging residential areas, a maternity hospital, and an industrial site.
In Odesa, one person died in hospital from injuries sustained in the strikes, according to Serhiy Lysak, head of the city’s military administration.
He said 11 people were wounded, including a child, and reported damage to a maternity hospital roof, high-rise buildings, and homes in several districts.
Lysak said fires broke out on the upper floors of an apartment block while cars were damaged and residential buildings had shattered windows and broken balconies.
