Another night of Russian drone attacks on Ukraine overnight left more than 10 people injured, with significant damage to residential buildings in the Odesa region. The strikes caused the most destruction in the central Prymorskyi district, where residential buildings, a hotel, and other facilities in the city center were damaged, according to Serhiy Lysak, head of the local military administration, who reported via Telegram as cited by Reuters.
Extremely Difficult Night
“It was an extremely difficult night,” Lysak stated, adding that high-rise residential buildings, private homes, and vehicles also came under attack in two other districts of the region. Emergency services responded to multiple locations, and rescue operations continued into the morning.
