A 42-year-old migrant construction worker from Telangana was killed in a Russian missile strike in Ukraine’s Odesa amid a fresh wave of missile and drone attacks across the war-torn country.

Travelled to Ukraine Four Months Ago for Work

According to reports, Goud had travelled to Ukraine around four months ago on a company visa to work in the construction sector. He had previously worked in Dubai and was engaged in shuttering work in his native region before moving abroad for employment.

He was reportedly staying in residential quarters in Odesa along with other workers when air-raid sirens sounded during the Russian attack.

Rushed Out After Air-Raid Sirens

Reports said Goud and another worker rushed out of their accommodation after the sirens warned of an incoming attack. While attempting to move to safety, Goud reportedly ran in one direction and was struck by the missile, dying instantly.

Another Telangana worker, identified in some reports as 35-year-old Ganesh Kalleda, was reported to have been injured, while other accounts said he escaped the attack safely. Details about his condition could not be independently reconciled from the varying reports.

Russian Strikes Kill At Least 12 Across Ukraine

The attack on Odesa was part of a wider Russian barrage involving missiles and drones across Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said at least 12 people were killed in the latest wave of attacks.

Several areas, including Kyiv and other parts of the country, were hit, with residential buildings and civilian infrastructure also reported to have suffered damage.

The latest strikes come as the Russia-Ukraine war continues to put civilians and foreign workers at risk, with attacks frequently disrupting daily life and threatening people living and working in affected regions.

Indian Embassy Assures Assistance to Family

The Indian Embassy in Ukraine confirmed Goud’s death and said it would extend all possible assistance to his family.

The embassy is also expected to facilitate the repatriation of his mortal remains to India, allowing his family to bring him back to Telangana for the final rites.

MLA Visits Bereaved Family

Following the news of his death, Jagtial MLA M Sanjay Kumar visited Goud’s bereaved family and offered his condolences.

The MLA assured the family of support and said efforts would be made to assist them during the difficult period.

Goud’s death has once again highlighted the risks faced by Indian migrant workers who travel abroad for employment, particularly when work opportunities take them to countries affected by armed conflicts.

For his family in Telangana, the journey that began with hopes of earning a livelihood abroad has ended in tragedy, with efforts now focused on bringing his mortal remains home.

Germany blames Russia after explosive-laden drone found near Ukrainian cargo planes at major airport

· Fox News

Germany has accused Russia of carrying out a failed drone sabotage operation at Leipzig/Halle Airport and announced Tuesday it would close Russian diplomatic facilities, escalating tensions after investigators linked Moscow to last month's attack.

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said Russia's consulate in Bonn will be closed and the contract for the Russian House cultural center in Berlin will be terminated after German authorities concluded Moscow was behind the Aug. 4 incident.

Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said forensic evidence and intelligence findings tied Russia to the attack, in which authorities found a drone carrying an explosive device beside a Ukrainian Antonov cargo aircraft at Leipzig/Halle Airport.

Officials said the explosive failed to detonate because of a faulty detonator.

Germany also said it believes a second drone collided with a nearby cargo aircraft, while officials have linked the incident to what Dobrindt described as Russia's "well-established pattern of Russian hybrid operations in Europe."

US INTEL WARNS RUSSIA COULD LAUNCH LIMITED ATTACK ON NATO ALLY IN EFFORT TO FRAGMENT ORGANIZATION: REPORT

Russia has denied the allegations.

The Russian Embassy in Berlin called the accusation "absurd," while Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Moscow would respond in a "mirror-image" fashion to Germany's actions. The embassy later described Berlin's measures as an "unprecedented escalation in Russian-German relations."

In addition to closing Russian diplomatic facilities, Wadephul announced tighter entry restrictions for Russian nationals and additional measures targeting Russia's shadow fleet. He also said he had summoned Russia's ambassador to Germany, Sergei Nechayev.

The announcement marks Germany's first public attribution of responsibility for the airport attack. Until now, Berlin had said only that "foreign powers" may have been involved, though U.S. media previously reported American officials believed Russia was responsible.

Leipzig/Halle Airport is one of Europe's largest cargo hubs and serves as a logistics center for Germany's military and NATO allies. It is also home to Ukrainian Antonov transport aircraft, making it a strategically important hub supporting Ukraine's cargo operations.

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte backed Germany's findings, writing on X that the alliance "stands in full solidarity with Germany."

"The evidence is clear. And I welcome the measures announced by Germany in response," Rutte wrote.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the European Union was preparing additional sanctions against Russia, while Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk accused Moscow of escalating tensions across the region.

The developments come as Germany has warned it faces an increasing campaign of hybrid threats targeting military, transportation and critical infrastructure. Chancellor Friedrich Merz said last week those responsible for hostile acts against Germany would "pay a price."

German police separately said Tuesday they were investigating improvised explosive and incendiary devices discovered at a power substation in the eastern state of Brandenburg after a damaged power line caused a temporary outage. Authorities have not identified who planted the devices.
