Odesa Under Fire: Maternity Hospital Evacuated After Russian Attack

Odesa Maternity Hospital Evacuated After Russian Strike; St. Sophia's Cathedral Damaged A Russian missile strike on Odesa, Ukraine, on June 10, 2025, caused significant damage to a maternity hospital and other buildings, including the historic St. Sophia's Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Despite the severity of the attack, all hospital staff and patients were successfully evacuated, resulting in no casualties. The attack occurred during the night, and the video shows dramatic footage of the aftermath, including the burning buildings and emergency vehicles responding to the scene. "It was terrifying," said one eyewitness, a nurse at the maternity hospital, who asked not to be identified. "But we managed to get everyone out safely." The video shows images of the damaged buildings, showing the extent of the destruction. The attack also caused damage to the Odesa Film Studio. The successful evacuation of the maternity hospital stands in stark contrast to the destruction caused by the attack. The resilience of the people of Odesa and the effectiveness of the emergency response are highlighted in the video. The damage to the St. Sophia's Cathedral serves as a symbol of the broader impact of the conflict on Ukraine's cultural heritage.
