He later clarified that the number of victims had increased to three: they were hospitalised.  

"Two of them are children aged 15 and 10. They were injured as a result of falling debris. All the injuries are minor, fortunately, there is no threat to life," wrote the head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration.

Ilya Yevlash, spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force Command, spoke about the details of the Russian attack on Espreso. 

"It is known that the enemy attacked Odesa with its missiles. It is likely that these missiles were launched from MiG aircraft, but it is unclear what type of missiles are installed. Our air defence systems were working, we are waiting for clarification, later we will be able to say more," he said.
