Nighttime Assault: Russian Strike Injures Odesa Civilians
Five individuals, including two children, were injured during a Russian attack on Odesa, Ukraine. Residential buildings were severely damaged, and emergency services evacuated and rescued people from the scene. The full extent of the attack remains unclear, with no immediate response from Russia.
In a shocking overnight assault, a Russian attack on the southern Ukrainian port of Odesa has left five people injured, including two young children, according to Ukrainian authorities. The strike, which targeted a multi-storey residential building and other civilian infrastructure, resulted in substantial damage.
Regional governor Oleh Kiper, communicating via the Telegram messaging app, reported that six apartments were completely obliterated, while another 36 sustained partial harm. The State Emergency Service of Ukraine released images showing rescue efforts amidst the blaze, which has since been extinguished.
While Russia has yet to comment on the incident, both nations have denied targeting civilians amidst the ongoing conflict. Despite these claims, the war, initiated over three years ago, has resulted in the tragic loss of thousands of civilian lives, predominantly Ukrainians.
