5 dead, ‘Harry Potter castle’ ravaged in attack

Odesa (Ukraine): A Russian missile assault on the Black Sea port city of Odesa left at least five dead and over 30 wounded, CNN reported.

Among the structures ravaged was an educational institution referred to as the “Harry Potter castle” due to its striking resemblance to the iconic Scottish architectural style.
