It’s again no quiet on the Southern front in Ukraine as Russia resumes missile strikes on Odesa. On Friday, 4 people were injured after a Russian missile later identified as Iskander-M hit the port damaging both “port and civilian infrastructure” as well as a civilian vessel flying the flag of Antigua.

Regional governor Oleh Kiper said the injured civilians are receiving necessary medical assistance.

Earlier, Ukraine’s Air Force warned of a potential threat from ballistic missiles launched from the south and issued alerts for several regions under missile danger. A series of explosions rocked the city at 1:57 pm  sending a plume of smoke over Odesa.
