WorldDeadly Russian strike hits Odesa as von der Leyen arrives in Ukraine for defence talks

A Russian strike on the Ukrainian port city of Odesa killed three people, according to a local official speaking on Wednesday. The attack came as European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen arrived in Kyiv to announce new defence initiatives. Ukraine also said it had struck 20 Russian vessels in the Black Sea overnight, including gas tankers. The report links the deadly attack and the parallel maritime strikes to an intensifying confrontation between the two countries.
