A new Russian attack took place in Odessa. A rocket hit a building nicknamed by the locals “Harry Potter’s castle” and which houses the Faculty of Law. At least four people were killed and 32 were injured.
Missile fragments were found scattered over a radius of several hundred meters.
The roof of the building known as “Harry Potter’s Castle” caught fire and burned for several hours. The windows were broken. Firefighters’ intervention was difficult, writes ukrainetoday.org.
The head of the strategic communications center of the Defense Forces operating in the south, Dmitri Pletenchuk, noted that the nature of the damage caused suggests that the attack targeted civilians and residential housing. It was live ammunition, but it was used to kill civilians, Dmitri Pletenchuk pointed out.
The governor of the region announces that four people are in serious condition. Among the injured are two children and a pregnant woman.
Ukrainian navy spokesman says it was a more difficult weapon to intercept.
Student: “I saw and heard what happened here. A missile was shot down before my eyes. It was right in front of me. The doors shattered and the glass was shaking. And then I saw this. Right before it happened, we wanted to go down there for a walk. Thank God I wasn’t there when it happened!”
The Odesa region on the Black Sea coast is a frequent target of Russian missile and drone attacks.
