An overnight missile attack on Odesa killed at least one person and wounded 22, including children, according to Ukrainian officials; governor Oleh Kiper said 14 were taken to hospital. The city's military administration said the Transfiguration Cathedral was severely damaged. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the attack through his spokesperson as a violation of the 1954 Hague Convention, and UNESCO called it a brazen attack on the World Heritage-listed historic centre and said it would send a mission. Russia had described its strikes on Odesa that week as retaliation for the Crimean Bridge attack.
