Russia-Ukraine war: Ukraine’s ‘Harry Potter castle’ in Odesa hit in Russian missile attack| Oneindia
A Russian missile strike has claimed the lives of at least four individuals in the southern Ukrainian city of Odesa, targeting a Gothic-style building known locally as the "Harry Potter Castle''.
Even as night fell, the distinctive turrets of the structure continued to burn, with emergency services assessing the blaze as severe.
Reports indicate that residents were caught off guard, as air raid alerts sounded only minutes before the strike, leaving them with insufficient time to seek shelter.
Ukraine launched a massive drone and missile attack on Russian territories, damaging factories and closing schools. In retaliation, Russia fired its hypersonic "Oreshnik" missile, escalating tensions. Putin warned of a potential global conflict, accusing the US and Britain of enabling Ukraine’s strikes. Meanwhile, President-elect Donald Trump called for a ceasefire, questioning Washington's future support for Ukraine. As casualties rise and millions are displaced, the crisis mirrors Cold War-era tensions, pushing the West and Moscow into dangerous territory.

In one of the deadliest attacks in months, Russian forces launched a devastating assault on Ukraine using 120 drones and 90 missiles, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict. The attack, which targeted key infrastructure across Ukrainian cities, is being described as the most intense bombardment in recent weeks. Ukrainian officials confirmed that various types of drones, including Iranian-made Shaheds, as well as cruise and ballistic missiles, were deployed in the strike. President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that Ukrainian defenses were able to shoot down 140 air targets, but the attack caused significant damage to civilian infrastructure and left dozens injured. In Mykolaiv, two people were killed and six others injured, including two children, when a drone hit the city. In Odesa, another strike caused widespread destruction, killing two and disrupting power and water supplies in the region.
