Ukraine: Russia kills eight in latest attack on Odesa port Russian missiles have hit a civilian container ship at a port in Ukraine's Odesa region, killing eight people, according to local officials.
"This is the third attack on a civilian vessel in the past four days," stated the region's head, Oleh Kiper, who described it as "yet another crime" by an "insidious enemy".
He reported Russia had targeted port infrastructure and all the victims were Ukrainian. A 46-year-old port employee and another man, aged 26, died of their injuries in hospital, while several others were wounded.
The wave of strikes on Ukraine's Black Sea ports coincided with a European tour by President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is visiting leaders in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin.
In Downing Street on Thursday, he met UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Nato's modern Secretary General Mark Rutte, who cautioned this week that Ukraine could be confronting its toughest winter since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022.
