Russian attacks on Ukraine's Odesa region wounded two people and caused damage to homes, cars and an energy facility, officials said.

Moscow cannot speak of economic dialogue with the United States while attacking US-owned production facilities, Sybiha added. In the front-line Kherson region, Russian shelling wounded two police officers and one civilian, Ukraine's National Police wrote on Telegram."
