Odesa strike: Ukraine lawmakers observe silence

STORY: Russian missiles struck an apartment building and two holiday camps near Ukraine's Black Sea port of Odesa early on Friday (July 1), killing at least 18 people.

One missile struck the building in the village of Serhiivka in the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi district at about 1 a.m. (2200 GMT Thursday), killing 16 people, Odesa region emergency official Ihor Budalenkotold local television, adding that 41 people had been rescued.

Budalenko said rescue work was still ongoing to find people who could still be trapped in the building where 152 lived.

Reuters could not independently confirm details of the incidents.

Russia has denied targeting civilians since it invaded Ukraine in late February in what it calls a "special operation" to demilitarize its neighbor.
