A Russian strike on the crowded city-centre market at midday, on the second day of the Abu Dhabi talks
Around midday on 11 November 2026 a Russian strike hit the market in the centre of Chornomorsk, a Black Sea port city of about 50,000 south of Odesa, while it was full of people. Market stalls, a private house, nearby homes and cars were damaged and a fire broke out. It was the second Russian strike on the city in three days, and it came on the second day of the US-mediated talks in Abu Dhabi.
A Russian strike on the Chornomorsk market killed 4 and hurt 11 — Ukrainian authorities report (B) Strikes on markets, cafés and shops in daylight — pattern Russia: "only military facilities" — position
Russia said. No statement on Chornomorsk. Russia's standing line at the UN is that its targets are "only military facilities and infrastructure" (V. Nebenzia, Security Council, 9 Oct 2026). — Not consistent with a strike on a crowded city market at midday.
Evidence held: Odesa regional military administration (O. Kiper), 11 Nov 2026; State Emergency Service, Odesa region, 11 Nov 2026; Air Force of Ukraine, 11 Nov 2026.
