Ukraine's 'Harry Potter castle' set ablaze by Russian missile strike in Odesa.

Footage released by State Emergency Services of Ukraine shows firefighters battling a blaze at an educational institution in the Ukrainian Black Sea port of Odesa after it was struck by a Russian missile on Monday (April 29) leaving four dead and 28 injured.

Regional governor Oleh Kiper, writing on the Telegram messaging app, said four of the injured were in serious condition and receiving urgent treatment.

He said the injured included two children and a pregnant woman.

Ukrainian navy spokesperson Dmytro Pletenchuk, in a posting on a military Telegram channel, said the strike was conducted by an Iskander-M ballistic missile with a cluster warhead. These missiles are harder to intercept.

Public broadcaster Suspilne said the roof of the building, described as a law academy, had been nearly destroyed.
