The Russian army has launched a rocket attack on infrastructure facilities in the Ukrainian city of Odessa.

This was announced by the head of the Odessa Regional Military Administration Maxim Marchenko.

"The enemy fired a missile at one of Odessa's infrastructure facilities. Unfortunately, there are dead and wounded. We will not leave it like that. We will destroy them until there is an occupier left in Ukraine," Marchenko said.
