As per news report of NDTV, Odessa, a historic city of around one million people, is Ukraine's largest Black Sea port. The blasts sent up at least three columns of black smoke with flames visible apparently in an industrial area. The attack comes as Russian forces appeared to be withdrawing from the country's north. On Friday, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky warned Russia was consolidating and preparing "powerful strikes" in the south, joining a chorus of Western assessments that Moscow's troops were regrouping. Russian troops have left scenes of devastation in the city of Bucha, just outside capital Kyiv, where nearly 300 people have been buried in a mass grave, mayor Anatoly Fedoruk told AFP. "All these people were shot, killed, in the back of the head," Mr Fedoruk said.
