Many injured in Odessa after drone attack

After the attack on Odessa: fires, destroyed houses and a damaged church. How people experienced the night – and why almost everything in Kharkiv is dark.

According to authorities, at least one man was killed in a Russian drone attack in the Ukrainian port city of Odessa. The head of the city administration, Serhij Lyssak, also reported on Telegram in the morning that at least 23 people were injured.

Several apartment blocks and single-family homes, an infrastructure property and a church in the city center were damaged. There were several fires at night, Lyssak said. Rescue workers rescued people trapped in the damaged houses. A search was still underway for two missing people in the rubble.

On Monday evening, a Russian attack with missiles and drones hit the energy supply of the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. 80 percent of the city and the surrounding area are without power and there are emergency shutdowns, said Governor Oleh Synjehubow.

The Ukrainian Air Force said it located 165 enemy drones during the night, 135 of which were intercepted. The Russian Defense Ministry in Moscow reported the downing of 19 Ukrainian drones. Russia has been waging a devastating war on neighboring Ukraine for almost four years.
