• Russia-Ukraine war: latest updates

At least 21 people including two children have died after two Russian missiles struck a multistorey block of flats and a recreation centre in a small coastal town near Odesa, an attack Ukrainian authorities interpreted as payback for Russian troops being forced from Snake Island a day earlier.

Video showed the charred ruins of buildings in the town of Serhiyivka. The Ukrainian president's office said three Kh-22 missiles fired by Russian warplanes struck a block of flats and a campsite shortly before 1am local time.
