Missile attacks on Odesa's Transfiguration Cathedral, a historic Russian legacy founded by Catherine the Great, have caused significant damage, with an entire wing razed to the ground and murals of Christian saints charred beyond recognition. These attacks are further fueling resentment among Odesa's residents towards Moscow.
At least one person has been killed and 19 others injured in new Russian missile strikes on the port city of Odesa, Ukraine. The strikes have caused significant damage to residential buildings and the historic Transfiguration Cathedral. Odesa's military administration reported that Russia targeted the region with various types of missiles. The UN's cultural agency, Unesco, has called on Russia to cease attacks on Odesa, which is designated as an endangered World Heritage site. The attacks come after Russia withdrew from a grain deal with Ukraine, with Ukraine accusing Russia of targeting grain supplies and vital infrastructure.
