Ukraine's capital Kyiv has been attacked from the air by Russia for the ninth time this month.

One person has been killed and two more wounded in a missile strike on Odesa, a Black Sea port city in the south west, officials say.

Blasts were also heard in central regions of Vinnytsia, Khmelnytsky and Zhytomyr.

Kyiv's military administration said preliminary information indicated all incoming missiles had been destroyed.

This is the ninth time Russia has launched aerial strikes on the city this month. On Tuesday, Ukraine said it had shot down six Kinzhal hypersonic missiles as part of an "exceptionally dense" attack. read more
