An overnight Russian drone attack on Odesa damaged residential buildings, a gas station, and the historic Pryvoz market, with officials reporting hits to UNESCO-listed sites in the city centre and ongoing fires.
A Russian drone strike on the southern Ukrainian city of Odesa overnight on 23 July has caused significant damage to residential areas, a gas station, and the city’s iconic Pryvoz market, local officials confirmed.
Odesa Oblast Governor Oleh Kiper said parts of the historic city centre, which is under UNESCO protection, were also affected.
“There is also damage to architectural monuments in the historic center of Odesa,” he wrote on Telegram.
The air raid alert in Odesa Oblast lasted until 2:36 a.m. local time on Thursday, with multiple explosions heard throughout the city during the attack.
Emergency services said firefighters were working to extinguish a blaze at the Pryvoz market, a central and culturally significant part of the city.
“Pryvoz is not just a market, it is the true heart of Odesa,” the State Emergency Service said, calling it a key symbol for locals and tourists alike.
Odesa Mayor Hennadii Trukhanov shared images showing widespread damage and debris along Prymorskyi Boulevard, an historic seafront area.
The strike comes days after a similar attack last Saturday (19 July), in which one person was killed and six injured when a fire engulfed a residential building.
Russia has stepped up its use of drones and missiles in recent weeks, resulting in mounting civilian casualties and renewed calls among Kyiv’s allies for tougher sanctions and greater military support.
On Wednesday (23 July), Russian attacks across Ukraine reportedly killed at least two people and wounded 30 others.
