Russian Drones Wound 18 in Ukraine’s Odesa Overnight, Officials Say

Russian drones struck Ukraine’s southern city of Odesa overnight, causing significant damage in the central Prymorskyi district. At least 18 people were wounded, with two critically injured requiring intensive care. The attacks hit residential buildings, including high-rises and five-story structures, leading to large fires on upper floors and roofs that have since been contained. Ukraine’s air force reported Russia launched one ballistic missile and 206 drones into the country since Wednesday evening, with 172 of the drones neutralized or downed. A kindergarten building was heavily damaged, along with a shopping center, hotel, and administrative premises. Infrastructure facilities, warehouse buildings, and a garage cooperative were also hit in another district.
