During an early morning Russian aerial attack on Odesa, which involved over 120 missiles, a Ukrainian orthodox priest narrowly escaped death. The priest was conducting a service when debris from a missile strike fell just a meter away from him, as shown in a video published by a local Telegram channel. An elderly man was also rescued after being trapped under rubble due to the attack. This barrage has been described by Ukrainian officials as the largest of the war to date. No injuries were reported when a church was hit during the strike, where a clergyman had a close call with the collapsing ceiling, according to a source from BAZA.
