(Reuters) -Flash floods in Ukraine's Odesa killed nine people including a family of five trapped in their home as it was engulfed by water, emergency services said on Wednesday, as torrential rain left hundreds in need of rescue and thousands without power.
Teams worked through the night to rescue some 362 people and pump water from buildings, the service said on the Telegram messaging app, and it posted pictures of passengers being lifted from a flooded bus and cars pulled from the water.
