Overnight, Russia unleashed a series of drone and missile strikes on Ukraine, specifically targeting the southern city of Odesa and the southeastern region of Dnipro, as confirmed by Ukrainian officials on Monday.
The Black Sea export hub of Odesa witnessed severe damage when drones struck residential buildings, a school, and a kindergarten, injuring two individuals: an 11-year-old boy and a 59-year-old man, according to Serhiy Lysak from the local military administration. Concurrently, missile strikes in Dnipro led to three injuries, detailed by regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha via Telegram.
While Reuters has yet to independently verify these reports, both Russian and Ukrainian forces have denied deliberately targeting civilian areas amid the ongoing conflict.
