A Russian strike killed at least 5 humans, together with a baby, and wounded 18 others in Ukraine’s Black Sea metropolis of Odesa on Saturday, Kyiv said, warning the toll might possibly arise.

“Five Ukrainians killed and 18 wounded. And those are only the ones that we were able to find. It is likely that the death toll will be heavy,” the head of Ukraine’s presidential office Andriy Yermak said on Telegram. “A three-month-old baby was among those killed.”

Earlier on Saturday, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said: “The only aim of Russian missile strikes on Odesa is terror.”

Ukraine’s air force said its defense systems intercepted two Russian TU-95 missiles that it said were fired from the Caspian Sea.

But it said four other missiles hit the city, including civilian infrastructure.

“Unfortunately, two missiles hit a military facility and two hit residential buildings,” the air force’s southern command said on Facebook.

Odesa, a largely Russian-talking city and cultural hub, has been targeted formerly through Moscow’s forces which had been rebuffed via Ukraine.
