A Russian drone strike targeted the Black Sea port city of Odesa overnight, damaging residential buildings, warehouses, and civilian infrastructure, regional Ukrainian officials reported early Wednesday.
Odesa, a key Ukrainian port city, was hit by a "massive" drone attack overnight, according to Oleh Kiper, governor of the broader Odesa region. Writing on Telegram, Kiper said Russian forces had launched yet another strike on the city.
Odesa Mayor Hennadiy Trukhanov shared images showing a residential area and other buildings heavily damaged, including a photo of a dog peering from behind a pile of debris. He confirmed that, based on preliminary information, no injuries had been reported.
The full extent of the damage is still being assessed, with Ukraine’s air force expected to release further details later in the day.
Reuters noted it could not independently verify the claims, and there has been no immediate comment from Russian officials. Both Moscow and Kyiv have consistently denied targeting civilians since the full-scale invasion began more than three years ago.
Despite recent U.S.-brokered agreements between Ukraine and Russia to pause attacks over the Black Sea and on energy infrastructure, both nations have continued to accuse each other of violating the ceasefire arrangements.
