ODESA, Ukraine, April 29 (Reuters) - A Russian missile attack on an educational
institution in a popular seafront park in the Ukrainian Black Sea port of Odesa
on Monday killed at least five people and injured 32, local officials said.
Regional governor Oleh Kiper, writing on the Telegram messaging app, said that
in addition to those killed in the attack, one man died after suffering a stroke
attributed to the strike.
Kiper said eight of the injured were in serious condition, including a
4-year-old child. Among the injured were another child and a pregnant woman.

Reuters Television footage showed the roof of the ornate building, a private law
academy, all but destroyed after the strike. Firefighters were directing water
on small fires still burning.
"Monsters. Beasts. Savages. Scum. I don't know what else to say," Odesa Mayor
Hennadii Trukhanov said in a video posted on Telegram. "People are going for a
walk by the sea and they are shooting and killing."
Pictures posted earlier online showed the building ablaze and smoke billowing
skyward.

Video footage, which could not be immediately verified, showed people receiving
treatment on the street alongside pools of blood. One photo showed officials
examining part of a missile.
A student at the academy who identified herself by her first name, Maria, said
the blaze was caused when the missile was intercepted.
"In front of my eyes, a missile was shot down, this was just in front of me. My
doors were blown open and the glass was shaking. And then I saw this," she told
Reuters, pointing to the burning building.

"Just before this happened, we wanted to go down there for a walk, but thank God
we weren't there when it happened."
Ukrainian navy spokesperson Dmytro Pletenchuk, in a posting on a military
Telegram channel, said the strike was conducted by an Iskander-M ballistic
missile with a cluster warhead.
Public broadcaster Suspilne said the academy's president, a prominent former
member of parliament, Serhiy Kivalov, was among the injured.

Odesa has been a frequent target of Russian missile and drone attacks,
particular port infrastructure.
