Missile attack kills five in Odesa, says Ukraine

An adviser to Ukraine's president says five people including a three-month-old infant were killed in a missile attack in the Black Sea port city of Odesa.

Ukraine presidential chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, provided the information Saturday.

An adviser to Ukraine's interior minister earlier said Russian forces fired at least six cruise missiles at the city, reports AP.

Anton Gerashchenko said in a Telegram post on Saturday that Ukrainian forces were able to shoot down several missiles, but at least one landed and exploded.

"Residents of the city heard explosions in different areas," Gerashchenko wrote. "Residential buildings were hit."
