Amid Russia-Ukraine conflict, couple ties the knot in bomb shelter [See Pics]

In the midst of ongoing mayhem between Russia and Ukraine, a couple tied the knot in a bomb shelter in Ukraine’s Odesa city with air raid sirens ringing in their ears instead of wedding bells.

The couple got married even as Russian forces, who have launched a full-scale invasion of the country, continue missile attacks and shelling in parts of the country.

A media firm in Belarus posted images from the ceremony that displayed the bride smiling and holding flowers, while the groom can be seen signing a document and sharing bread to celebrate his big day.

Here's a look at the pics:

Earlier, Ukrainian officials confirmed that Russian soldiers had taken over the southern city of Kherson. The city of Kherson fell under Russian control on day 8 of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

In the midst of heavy shelling and bombing in parts of Ukraine, the Ukraine’s State Emergency Service claimed that over 2,000 civilians have lost their lives since the beginning of the invasion.
