KYIV-Russian strikes overnight in the southern Ukrainian region of Odesa left eight people wounded and damaged a historic art museum, Ukrainian officials said on Monday, in the latest barrage of drones and missiles. Images released by officials from inside the Odesa Fine Arts Museum showed art ripped from the walls of the 19th-century building and windows blown out by the aerial bombardment. The governor of the Odesa region, Oleg Kiper, said most of the collection had already been removed during the war. Eight people were wounded in the Odesa region, he said. “It is a miracle that no one was seriously injured,” Prokudin said, specifying that a 54-year-old woman had been wounded.
