Russians have attacked Odesa Region again, the spokesman for the Ukrainian Volunteer Army, Serhiy Bratchuk, has said on Telegram.

The air raid lasted almost four hours.

"The enemy attacked the south of the region with kamikaze drones: air defence forces shot down several Shaheds, but unfortunately, there were hits too. Russians continue to hit civilian objects and Ukrainian grain," he said.

The Operational Command South clarified that the air defence forces destroyed three enemy drones.

"Last night, a nearly four-hour attack by Shahed-136 drones was launched against the Danube port infrastructure. Three drones were destroyed by air defence forces. As a result of the hits, a grain warehouse was destroyed, tanks for storing other types of cargo were damaged, and a fire broke out in one of the production facilities, which was promptly extinguished," it noted.

The head of the regional military administration, Oleh Kiper, said that six people were injured in the night attack.

"Four wounded were hospitalised in the region, one of whom is in moderate to serious condition. Doctors managed to stabilise the patient. The other three were treated for light shrapnel wounds and bruises. All were provided with full medical care," he wrote on Telegram.
