Forty-eight people remain unaccounted for following the May 2 events in Odesa, southern Ukraine, where several dozen people were killed, the 1+1 television station reported on Tuesday, adding that unidentified dead bodies are still lying in the city's morgues.

"Apart from the 46 dead, another 48 people were reported yesterday as missing. Two dozen unidentified dead bodies are still lying in morgues," the TV channel said.

Up to 1,500 pro-Ukrainian supporters staged a march in Odesa on May 2, destroying their opponents' tent city in Kulykove Pole Square. As a result of the events, several hundred pro-Russian activists found themselves trapped in the Trade Unions House. A fire then broke out in the Trade Unions House, killing 46 people and injuring over 200.

On May 3-5, Odesa mourned the victims of the events.
