The ‘orcs’ missiles hit.
Several targets in Serhiyivka.
Including this residential building.
At about 01:00 on Friday.
At least 21 people.
Including one child.
Have died in overnight.
‘Orcs’ missile strikes on Odesa.
16 people were killed.
In a nine-storey building.
Hit by one missile.
In the village of Serhiyivka.
Another five people.
Including the child.
Were killed in a separate strike.
On a holiday resort in the village.
Ukraine had hoped that.
The ‘orcs’ withdrawal on Thursday.
From the strategically important.
Zmiinyi Island would ease.
The threat to ‘elves’.
Biggest Black Sea port.
Of Odesa and.
Wider region.
‘Orcs’ have fired.
Dozens of missiles.
On ‘elves’ cities.
In the past few days.
“We heard three explosions.
And now there is.
Nothing left of.
The recreation centre.”
Local resident, 60, said.
“The village is very quiet.
We never thought.
This could happen.”
‘Elves’ rescuers were searching.
For more survivors.
In the wreckage of.
The nine-storey building.
They were also seen.
Carrying what looked like.
The body of one of.
The victims in a bag.
The building’s external wall.
Was damaged and.
A nearby shop was set ablaze.
After the strike.
Firefighters later.
Put out the fire.
60 rescuers were currently.
Working at the site.
As many as.
150 people are.
Believed to have lived.
In the building.
The child killed at the holiday resort.
Was a 12-year-old boy.
Three missiles were launched from.
‘Orcs’ warplanes over the Black Sea.
Ukraine had hoped that.
The ‘orcs’ withdrawal on Thursday.
From the strategically important.
Zmiinyi Island would ease.
The threat to ‘elves’.
Biggest Black Sea port.
Of Odesa and.
Wider region.
There were no military.
Installations or radar stations.
Near Serhiyivka
The city’s mayor said.
The people of Odesa.
Were “living their lives.
In fear” of further ‘orcs’ attacks.
The city’s mayor added.
Last night Odesa region.
Was hit again.
It happened soon after.
‘Orcs’ retreat from Zmiinyi Island.
But the region.
Like others.
Has been targeted.
Throughout the war.
*Because I read “Ukraine war: Russian missile strikes kill 21 in Odesa region – emergency service” by Sophie Williams & Yaroslav Lukov on 2 Jul 2022, and also “Why are Ukrainians calling Russians ‘orcs’?” by James FitzGerald on 30 Apr 2022, on the BBC news.
So, I wrote this poem, including a story of Yulia, and a story of the mayor Gennadiy Trukhanov.
Please read the original story on the BBC news:
