Odesa has been hit by a Russian drone strike. According to the head of the regional military administration, Oleh Kiper, a fire broke out at a civilian infrastructure facility in the city. Three people were killed.
The Southern Defence Forces reported that the Russians attacked the Region with Shahed-131/136 attack drones. At the same time, tactical and strategic aviation aircraft fired X-31P and X-22 missiles from the Black Sea.
"The missiles lost their combat capability in the air," the statement said.
Air defence units shot down nine kamikaze drones. One of the drones hit over the sea crashed into a building in Odesa's coastal zone, causing destruction and a fire. A security guard was rescued from the damaged building and was not injured.
"While extinguishing the fire, rescuers found the bodies of three victims," the Defence Forces said.
