Oleh Kiper, the head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration, reported this on Telegram, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

“Another child who died was a girl named Zlata. She was 8 years old. Rescuers are now unblocking her and her brother Serhiy's bodies. This is an indescribable grief for the Odesa region and the whole of Ukraine. Russia is a terrorist country,” Kiper wrote.
