Russia Launches Massive Air Attack on Odesa, Homes and Infrastructure Damaged
Russian forces launched another large-scale attack on Odesa overnight, damaging residential buildings and infrastructure as multiple types of aerial weapons targeted the city.
Russian forces launched a significant air assault on Odesa overnight, causing damage to residential properties and critical infrastructure, according to local authorities. Serhii Lysak, head of the Odesa City Military Administration, reported via Telegram that the city is currently under enemy attack. Preliminary data indicates that residential buildings have been affected, though casualties have not yet been officially confirmed.
An hour before the attack, Ukraine's Air Force issued air raid alerts for the Odesa region, urging residents to seek shelter. The military reported the use of guided aerial bombs, or KABs, and Russian Banderol munitions targeting the city and its surrounding region. This incident follows a similar intense Russian attack on Odesa just 24 hours prior, which also damaged infrastructure and resulted in seven civilian injuries.
The attacks have caused substantial damage to residential, energy, and port infrastructure, including the Orlivka international ferry crossing on Ukraine's border with NATO member Romania. Additionally, Russian forces struck a Nova Poshta postal terminal in Odesa during the latest assault. This marks a second night of heavy Russian strikes on the Black Sea port city.
