Ukraine’s southern city of Odessa has imposed a weekend-long curfew over a “missile strike threat” from Russia, after the shelling of a train station that killed dozens in the eastern city of Kramatorsk.

“A curfew will be introduced in Odessa and the Odessa region from 9 p.m. on April 9 to 6 p.m. April 11,” Odessa’s regional military administration says on Facebook. The decision was taken “given events in Kramatorsk” and “threat of a missile strike on Odessa,” it says.
