KYIV: Russian and Ukrainian strikes killed at least 10 people in total across both sides of the border on Friday, local officials in the respective territories said.
More than four years after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, strikes from both sides have been intensifying for several months, causing a growing number of civilian casualties.
In Ukraine, two people were killed and eight wounded when a missile hit a residential building in the Black Sea port city of Odesa, said deputy mayor Oleksandr Filatov.
“Among those killed was a woman who was walking in a park with children at the time of the attack. The children survived and are receiving the necessary assistance,” emergency services said.
Residential buildings, a religious institution, a pre-school facility, vehicles and other civilian infrastructure were damaged in the bombardment, Filatov said.
