"Russian Missile Attack on Odesa Cathedral Leaves One Dead and Historic Site Damaged"

A Russian missile attack on the Ukrainian city of Odesa killed at least one person, injured 22, including four children, and caused significant damage to a historic cathedral. The attack, which targeted the region with 19 missiles, destroyed residential buildings and sparked fires within the 228-year-old Transfiguration Cathedral. Russia initially claimed that the attack was in response to terrorist activities being planned in the area, but later backpedaled, suggesting that a Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile caused the damage. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church refuted these claims, stating that a Russian rocket hit the cathedral's central altar.
