July 15 (UPI) -- At least 12 people were killed and 90 injured overnight in a major Russian airborne assault on targets across Ukraine, authorities said Wednesday.
The southwestern city of Odessa was hardest hit, with three people killed and six injured after a missile hit a multi-story apartment block during a fifth straight day of missile and drone strikes on the port city that killed at least two other people.
Wednesday's attack also damaged other civilian and industrial buildings and a gas pipeline, as well as gas infrastructure elsewhere in Odesa away from the province's capital, according to Gov. Oleh Kiper.
"The enemy is deliberately targeting the civilian population and the region's civilian, industrial, and port infrastructure," said Kiper.
