Missiles hit apartment block in Ukraine port city of Odesa

At least six people were killed including a three-month old baby in a missile strike on Ukraine's southern port city of Odesa on Saturday, the president's chief of staff Andriy Yermak said in an online post.

Ukraine's southern air command had earlier said that two missiles struck a military facility and two residential buildings in Odesa.

It comes as Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky announced he would meet Sunday in his nation's capital with the US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, and the US secretary of defense, Lloyd Austin.

Speaking in a news conference, Mr Zelensky gave little detail about logistics of the encounter but said he expected concrete results — "not just presents or some kind of cakes, we are expecting specific things and specific weapons.

Oleksiy Arestovich, an advisor to the head of Ukraine’s presidential office, said on Saturday that Russian forces have resumed air strikes on Azovstal factory in Mariupol and were trying to storm it.
