Description: The ongoing military conflict in Ukraine set a different mood than usual at a military exercise at a NATO army base on May 10, 2022, in the German city of Munster. READ MORE: Russia launched missile attacks Tuesday on the Black Sea port of Odesa, Ukrainian officials said, as Moscow attempted to disrupt critical weapons shipments and supply lines into Ukraine in the 11th week of the grinding war. The Ukrainian military said Russia fired seven missiles at Odesa targets, hitting a shopping center and a warehouse, killing at least one person and wounding five more. Mayor Gennady Trukhanov visited the warehouse at daybreak and said it "had nothing in common with military infrastructure or military objects." Ukraine contended that some of the munitions fired at Odesa dated back to the Soviet era, making them unreliable at targeting. But a Ukrainian think tank tracking the war, the Center for Defense Strategies, said Moscow used some precision weapons against Odesa: Kinzhal, or "Dagger," hypersonic air-to-surface missiles. However, Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby told reporters that he'd seen "no evidence to speak [of] with respect to hypersonic missiles being fired at Odesa." voanews.com/a/russia-attacks-ukraine-s-black-sea-port-odesa-attempting-to-disrupt-arms-shipments-/6565869.html » Subscribe to VOA News: bit.ly/3KIPysi » Watch more VOA News video: youtube.com/c/VOANews Voice of America (VOA) is the largest U.S. international broadcaster, providing news and information in more than 40 languages to an estimated weekly audience of 236.8 million people.
