The number of victims of the shelling of the Odessa region has grown to 19, among them two children

This was reported by the press service of the SBU. The department began an investigation under Part 2 of Art. 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (violation of the laws and customs of war).

At least 19 people have already been confirmed dead. Among them are two children. 38 people were hospitalized, including six children and a pregnant woman. One child, who was pulled out from under the rubble, is in a coma. Another 8 sought medical help, the report said.

The whole entrance to the house was completely destroyed. Rescue work continues.

The invaders cannot win on the battlefield, so they resort to vile killings of civilians. After the enemy was knocked out of Serpent's Island, he decided to respond with a cynical shelling of civilian targets. Thus, Russia once again confirmed the status of a terrorist country. For her, a recreation center is the same goal as a military base. The goal of the Russian Federation is the literal destruction of Ukraine and our citizens, - said the head of the SBU Bakanov.
