Russia-Ukraine war: Ukraine’s ‘Harry Potter castle’ in Odesa hit in Russian missile attack| Oneindia
A Russian missile strike has claimed the lives of at least four individuals in the southern Ukrainian city of Odesa, targeting a Gothic-style building known locally as the "Harry Potter Castle''.
Even as night fell, the distinctive turrets of the structure continued to burn, with emergency services assessing the blaze as severe.
Reports indicate that residents were caught off guard, as air raid alerts sounded only minutes before the strike, leaving them with insufficient time to seek shelter.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has sounded the alarm on what he calls a global campaign of "barbaric treatment" toward Russian culture. In a meeting with Patriarch Kirill, head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Putin claimed that Russian heritage, language, and identity are facing mounting pressure abroad—especially in the wake of the ongoing conflict with Ukraine.

Russia and Ukraine have completed the second phase of a record-setting prisoner swap, with 307 soldiers returned to each side, the Russian Defense Ministry announced. The agreement, forged during landmark talks in Türkiye earlier this month, marks the largest exchange in the ongoing conflict. Russian soldiers were first taken to Belarus for medical and psychological support. With 1,000 POWs agreed to be exchanged from both ends, this massive humanitarian gesture signals rare cooperation amidst the conflict. The process is expected to continue in the coming days.

In a major overnight assault on May 15–16, Russia launched 112 drones—including Shahed models—at Ukraine, striking multiple regions. Ukraine’s air defense systems shot down 73 UAVs, but the attack still caused damage across Odesa, Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Mykolaiv, and Chernihiv. The drones were launched from Bryansk, Kursk, and Millerovo. Ukrainian aircraft, missile units, and electronic warfare systems responded to the coordinated drone swarm. While 36 decoy drones vanished from radar, the repeated strikes continue to threaten both civilian infrastructure and military targets across Ukraine.

Russia launched 112 UAVs, including Iranian-made Shahed drones, in a massive overnight assault on Ukraine from May 15–16. Ukraine’s air defense shot down 73 drones as swarms struck the Odesa, Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Mykolaiv, and Chernihiv regions. Ukrainian forces used aircraft, missile units, and EW systems to repel the attack. Thirty-six decoy UAVs vanished from radar without causing damage. Russia continues to target both civilian and military infrastructure nightly, raising fears of prolonged regional instability and humanitarian crises.

On April 30, Russian forces launched a massive, multi-pronged drone and missile strike across Ukrainian cities, including Odesa. The attack resulted in multiple civilian casualties and widespread destruction of infrastructure. Ukrainian officials confirmed that ballistic missiles with cluster warheads were used in conjunction with drone swarms, marking one of the deadliest single-day aerial assaults in recent months. Ukraine's Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi responded by claiming that Ukrainian drones hit over 83,000 Russian targets in April alone — an 8% rise from March. With tit-for-tat drone and missile attacks intensifying and peace talks stalled, the war continues to spiral.
