A Ukrainian structure known locally as the "Harry Potter Castle' was burning after a Russian missile strike
At least four people were killed and 27 injured in Russian attacks on cities in Ukraine on Tuesday.
A Gothic-style building known locally as the "Harry Potter Castle" was in flames after a missile strike on the southern port of Odesa.
It is the residence of former MP Serhiy Kivalov. He was among the wounded, according to the BBC.
The castle also houses the Odesa Law Academy, which Kivalov runs.

Ukraine reportedly carried out its own strikes on Russian-held Crimea early Tuesday, launching a wave of U.S.-made, long-range missiles.
The newly acquired weapons pounded air bases and air defense installations but Russian authorities claim they were shot down.
Ukraine's troops have struggled to fend off Russian advances on the battlefield.
NATO's leader said Monday that countries in the alliance haven't delivered what they promised to Ukraine in time, the Associated Press reported.
That has allowed Russia to make advances.
