Seventeen people were injured, including three children.
Russian forces regularly strike Odesa and the Odesa region with missiles and drones. Russia’s Defense Ministry says the targets are infrastructure, including ports and warehouses linked to the Ukrainian military. Odesa authorities, however, report hits on civilian infrastructure and residential buildings.
