Russia targets Odesa with airstrikes on eve of Putin securing another term

Russian forces carried out multiple strikes targeting the southern Ukrainian city of Odesa on Friday, as the Russian people took to the polls that will all but assuredly result in another term for President Vladimir Putin.

At least 14 people were killed in the attack, including a paramedic and a rescue worker, while 46 were injured, Odesa Gov. Oleh Kiper said. The State Emergency Service of Ukraine said rescue workers responded to the scene of a strike when Russian forces fired another missile at their location.
