Two people were killed and six injured. KYIV - A Russian airstrike on key Ukrainian export infrastructure in the southern Black Sea port city of Odesa killed two people and wounded six more, including two foreigners, Ukrainian officials said on July 3. About 90 per cent of all Ukrainian exports are shipped to foreign markets through the ports of the Odesa seaport hub, including millions of tonnes of grain and metals. 'Today, an Iskander missile hit one of the berths of the Odesa seaport. At the time, people were working at the berth, unloading metal from a foreign vessel flying the flag of Sao Tome and Príncipe,' Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Oleksiy Kuleba said, on the Telegram messenger. He said berthing facilities for bulk carriers, port cranes, cars and warehouses were damaged. Mr Kuleba said two people were killed - a docker-mechanic and a truck driver. Six more people were injured, including two Syrian citizens and members of the crew of a civilian ship. 'This is not an isolated incident; rather, it is part of Russia's targeted campaign against Ukraine's economy and agriculture, as well as global food security and freedom of navigation,' Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said on Telegram.

Russian strikes kill eight in Ukraine
KYIV: Russia launched a wave of attacks on Ukraine on Thursday, killing at least eight people and wounding dozens of others, Ukrainian officials said. Among the sites hit were a military enlistment office in the eastern city of Poltava and port infrastructure in the southern city of Odesa. Moscow has stepped up its drone and missile bombardment of Ukraine in recent weeks, with peace talks stalling and Kyiv's key ally Washington signalling it could cut military support. The warring sides last met for direct talks more than a month ago and no further meeting has been organized. The Ukrainian army reported there were 'dead and wounded' at a recruitment office in Poltava. Emergency services posted images of buildings on fire and rescue workers at the scene of the strike. 'Two people were killed,' the emergency services said. The region's police added 47 people were wounded. In Odesa, two people were killed when 'an Iskander missile' struck the seaport, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Oleksiy Kuleba said on Telegram. He added that six people had been wounded in the strike. In Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region, strikes killed four people, the regional prosecutor's office said. 'At least nine apartment buildings, three garages, a shop facade and a power line were damaged in the settlements,' it added. In Russia's Lipetsk region, debris from a Ukrainian drone killed a woman and wounded two other people, its governor said Thursday. The debris fell on a building in Lipetsk, which lies about 400 kilometers (250 miles) southeast of Moscow, killing a woman in her seventies, Igor Artamonov wrote on Telegram.
