At least three people were killed, and 20 were injured during a Russian missile strike on Odesa on April 29, according to local officials.

In a later Telegram post, Odesa Mayor Hennady Trukhanov updated the casualty figures, indicating that the death toll had risen to three, and the number of injured to 20.

According to media reports, one of the injured individuals was Serhiy Kivalov, a discredited pro-Russian ally of former President Yanukovych, who resides in an elaborate and ornate building in Odesa, referred to as Kivalov's Castle.
