Dead and wounded in Russian bombing of the Ukrainian Mykolaiv

10 civilians were killed and at least 46 wounded in bombings targeting Mykolaiv in southern Ukraine, according to the city's mayor Oleksandr Senkevich, Monday.

The mayor said in a video message that the first strike carried out by the Russian army at 4:00 GMT resulted in the "killing of a person and the injury of five others, two of whom are in a critical condition," before another strike followed in which "nine people were killed and 41 others were wounded," referring to That the number of casualties may rise.

Mykolaiv, the main city on the Odessa road, Ukraine's largest port, with a pre-war population of 475,000, was bombed for weeks when the Russian army unsuccessfully tried to bring it down.

And about the heavy bombardment launched by Russian forces, on Sunday, on Mykolaiv in Odessa, which killed eight people and wounded 34 others, a Pentagon official said, "These raids may be in preparation for moving towards the city, or perhaps an attempt to encircle Ukrainian forces."

This comes at a time when Ukraine accused the Russian army of committing a massacre against civilians in Bucha, northwest of the capital Kyiv, which was recaptured by Ukrainian forces last Saturday, but Russia described the footage and pictures showing the dead bodies as "another provocation" by Kyiv.
