Swimmers flee as Russian missile strikes Ukraine indoor pool

CCTV footage captures the moment that a Russian missile strike hit a swimming pool in Ukraine.

Guests at the recreational centre in Zaporizhzhia can be seen swimming in the pool or walking around the side of it when the missile hits, as a huge cloud of ash fills the room.

The regional administration did not immediately provide details on casualties.

In the early hours of Thursday (3 July), Moscow also launched hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles at Kyiv, killing at least 30 people in the deadliest attack of the year so far.
