A civilian security guard was killed in Odesa overnight after fragments of a Russian missile shot down by air defenses fell on an industrial building in the southern port city, the Ukrainian military said.
“As a result of the air battle, the downed missiles fell on industrial buildings, which were damaged. Unfortunately, as a result of the destruction, one civilian guard was killed and two others were injured,” Ukraine’s Operational Command South said on Facebook.
The command said the missiles were launched at Ukraine’s southern coast from Russian carriers in the Black Sea and ground-based missile systems in occupied territory.
Missiles shot down: Ukraine said its air defenses intercepted 29 out of 30 cruise missiles launched by Russia overnight at cities nationwide, including Kyiv.
Kyiv police chief Andrii Nebytov posted photos on Telegram of what he said were fragments of Russian missiles downed over fields outside the capital.
“Fortunately, there were no serious injuries or casualties,” in the Kyiv region, he said.
