A Russian missile strike clobbered a Ukrainian cathedral in Odesa, killing one and injuring 19.
The strike in the port city of Odesa early Sunday morning left one dead and injured 19 others.
Photos from Reuters showed the devastation in the Spaso-Preobrazhenskyi Cathedral — also known as the Transfiguration Cathedral — which is Odesa's largest church building.

The destruction of the key port city is a tactic, according to Oleksiy Honcharenko, a Ukrainian MP from Odesa.
