Russian strikes on Odesa kill one

ODESA (Ukraine), June 20 (AFP): One person was killed and more than a dozen others were wounded in Russia's latest aerial attack on Ukraine, which targeted the southern port city of Odesa, officials said on Friday.

Emergency services published images of firefighters helping a woman in pyjamas climb from the window of a housing bloc in flames.

Both Moscow and Kyiv have stepped up their drone and missile attacks after three years of war and peace talks initiated by the United States appear closer to collapse.
