A Russian drone strike on a residential high-rise in Odesa killed two people and injured at least 14, including three children.
In an overnight attack on Ukraine's Black Sea city of Odesa, a Russian drone hit a 21-storey residential building, killing two and wounding at least 14, among them three children—one in critical condition, according to regional Governor Oleh Kiper.
Emergency services released footage showing firefighters battling the blaze and evacuating residents through dark stairwells. The attack comes amid increased Russian drone and missile strikes on Ukrainian cities, as diplomatic talks to end the war have stalled after more than three years of conflict.
