German Vice-Chancellor Robert Habeck came within sight of the aftermath of a Russian missile strike during his trip to Ukraine, as a huge column of smoke rose over the port city of Odessa on Friday. According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, several missiles had hit the seaport of Pivdennyi near Odessa on the Black Sea. The attack occurred at around 3 pm (1200 GMT). When Habeck's delegation passed the area around three hours later, a high column of smoke could still be seen in the sky.
