The number of victims of the Russian missile attack is constantly growing in the Odessa region, in southern Ukraine.
According to Ukrainian authorities so far they have been killed at least 19 people, including two children. The injured are over 30. In photos that saw the light of day, the firefighters appear shocked by what they saw in the wreckage but also tired of the rescue efforts.
Rescue operations are underway, which are hampered by the fire in the case of the apartment building, according to Serhiy Bratsuk, a spokesman for the Odessa regional authorities.
The first Russian missile hit “a nine-storey apartment building in the Bilgorod-Dniester region”, about 80 kilometers south of Odessa, according to him.
Mr Bratschuk also warned social media users not to reveal the movements of troops and first aid services.
“A rescue operation is underway, do not write where, by whom or when!” in order not to endanger the military, he stressed on the country’s television station.
