The Russian army targeted the city of Ukrainian coastal city of Odessa. After the attacks, many civilian settlements were damaged. Images of the damaged houses were published by the Ukraine Emergency Service.
Russia, on the other hand, bombed the Odessa coast, according to Ukrainian media. Residents in the area were evacuated to safer areas after bombs fell near their homes, causing widespread panic.
Official sources have yet to make a statement about the attacks.
The US flag has been hoisted once more at the US Embassy in Damascus, Syria, for the first time since its closure in 2012.
US Special Representative for Syria Thomas Barrack made his first official visit to Damascus and personally raised the flag during a ceremony attended by Syrian Foreign Minister Assad Hassan Shaybani. The embassy had suspended operations amid the outbreak of civil conflict following anti-government protests.
No official statement has been issued regarding the resumption of embassy operations.
The move follows a surprise meeting earlier this month between US President Donald Trump and Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara in Riyadh, where a decision was made to lift sanctions imposed during the Assad era, signaling a potential shift in Washington-Damascus relations.
