A Russian missile attack on the Ukrainian port city of Odesa reportedly killed at least one person, injured 22 — including four children — and nearly destroyed a centuries-old historic church.
Russia launched 19 missiles aimed the region early Sunday, the Ukrainian Air Force said.
Ukrainian air defenses shot down nine of the projectiles, CBS News reported. But several got through and struck the Black Sea city, leaving four children among the wounded, according to regional Gov. Oleh Kiper.
On Telegram, the governor wrote that missiles destroyed six residential buildings, including apartment buildings.
They also mutilated the Transfiguration Cathedral, which CBS cited as one of the biggest, most important Orthodox Cathedrals in the city. Workers removed documents, artifacts and other valuables from the building after the attack, which sparked fires within the 228 year-old building.
