Ukrainian tennis player Dayana Yastremska has said her family’s flat has been destroyed in a Russian aerial strike on the Black Sea port of Odesa.
“This is what the ‘Russian world’ looks like. A direct hit by a Kalibr cruise missile,” she wrote on social media, showing a photo of a burning multi-storey residential building.
“The only thing that survived was a Roland Garros… towel,” the 26-year-old added, posting an image of a famous clay orange towel from Paris’s Grand Slam tournament hanging from the wreckage.
Odesa regional head Oleh Kiper said 37 people were injured, including a baby, and two missing in the missile and drone attack on Odesa and nearby Chornomorsk on Friday night.
