YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRussia pounded away at Ukraine’s vital southern port of Odesa, Ukrainian officials said on Tuesday, as they announced they found the bodies of 44 civilians in the rubble of a building in the northeast that was destroyed weeks ago.
The port came under repeated missile attack, including from some hypersonic missiles, after Russia marked its biggest patriotic holiday without giving new information about the war.
Earlier, the Ukrainian military said Russian forces fired seven missiles from the air at Odesa, hitting a shopping centre and a warehouse.
One person was killed and five were wounded, the military said.
The city's Mayor Gennady Trukhanov said that the warehouse "had nothing in common with military infrastructure or military objects."
As part of the barrage, a Russian supersonic bomber fired three hypersonic missiles, according to the Center for Defense Strategies, a Ukrainian think tank tracking the war.
It identified the weapons used as Kinzhal, or "Dagger," hypersonic air-to-surface missiles.
The Kinzhal can fly at five times the speed of sound and has a range of 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles).
Using advanced guided missiles allows Russia to fire from aircraft at a distance without being in Ukrainian air space and exposed to potential anti-aircraft fire.
But Ukrainian, British and American officials warn Russia is rapidly expending its stock of precision weapons and may not be able to quickly build more, raising the risk of more imprecise rockets being used as the conflict grinds on.
That could result in more civilian deaths and other collateral damage.
The strikes came after Russian President Vladimir Putin marked his country's biggest patriotic holiday without being able to boast of major new battlefield successes.
He watched troops march in formation and military hardware roll by in a Victory Day parade on Moscow's Red Square in a celebration of the Soviet Union's role in the 1945 defeat of Nazi Germany.
