Russian drones targeted the Ukrainian port city of Odesa early Thursday, killing two people and injuring 15 others, according to emergency services. The attack caused fires and damaged multiple buildings and infrastructure across the city.

Ukraine's air force reported that Russia had launched five ballistic missiles and 170 drones overnight. Of these, 74 drones were intercepted, and 68 more failed to reach their targets due to electronic warfare defences. The fate of the remaining drones and missiles was not disclosed.
