WorldA Russian missile strike on Odesa, in southern Ukraine, has killed at least 16 people and injured at least 53 others, local officials said.The Associated PressIn this photo provided by the Ukrainian Emergency Service, an emergency serviceman takes a moment after a Russian attack in Odesa, Ukraine, on Friday.

The dead included a paramedic and an emergency service worker. At least 53 other people were wounded, officials said.​The tactic of firing a second missile at the same location, aiming to hit rescuers, is known in military terms as a "double tap." Such strikes often hit civilians. The attacks have primarily targeted port infrastructure, aiming to disrupt the export of goods after Ukraine managed to restore maritime navigation with a series of successful operations in the Black Sea.

Its Orthodox cathedral belongs to Moscow's patriarchate and Odesa's beaches were beloved by Russian tourists — at least until the Kremlin illegally annexed the nearby Crimean Peninsula in 2014. Overnight in Ukraine, two people were also killed and three wounded in the central Vinnytsia region, after Russia struck a building with a drone, according to regional Gov. Serhii Borzov.
