Unesco has condemned Friday’s large-scale Russian attack that struck the historic centre of Odessa, a World Heritage Site.

“On the night of 14-15 November, a large-scale Russian attack struck the historic centre of Odessa, which has been protected since January 2023 under the UNESCO World Heritage Convention,” the organization said in a statement.

In the Odesa region, there have been renewed air raid alerts due to four instances of drone and missile warnings within the past day, prompted by observed flights originating from Crimea.
