Russian missile attack on apartment block and sports centre kills at least 14

A Russian missile attack has led to the deaths of at least 14 people in an apartment block and a sports centre in the Odesa region of southern Ukraine, according to reports.

Earlier, Serhiy Bratchuk, spokesman for the Odesa regional administration said on his Telegram channel: "The number of dead as a result of a strike on a multi-story apartment building has now risen to 10." In contrast, however, a Ukrainian official in the heavily fought eastern province of Luhansk described difficulties for Ukrainian forces in the city of Lysychansk on Thursday.

An official from the pro-Russian separatist administration in Luhansk province told RIA news agency the Lysychansk oil refinery was now fully controlled by Russian and pro-Russian forces, and all roads to Lysychansk were also under their control. Ukraine says the main road out is largely impassable because of fighting, but the city is not yet fully cut off.
