"Despite the effective and fruitful work of air defence to repel enemy attacks, unfortunately, an industrial facility was hit in Odesa, and residential buildings and civilian infrastructure were damaged," he said.
The State Emergency Service added that more than 80 rescuers were simultaneously working at different sites in the city, extinguishing the fire and clearing the rubble.
According to Kiper, the pause between air raid warnings was up to 15 minutes. The air defence forces destroyed 10 Shaheds.
"One of the drones hit a partially inhabited high-rise building in Khadzhybeyskyy district of Odesa and caused a fire. Several apartments were damaged, one person was wounded and hospitalised," he wrote.
Another downed drone crashed into the roof of a two-storey residential building in the city's Primorskyy district. Another UAV crashed in the same residential area, near an apartment building damaged in a previous attack. The blast wave caused extensive damage to the windows of the surrounding buildings, a car parked in the yard was burnt to ashes, and several other people were injured. Four people were injured and are being treated on an outpatient basis. Rescuers saved one of the victims from the rubble.
