The strikes, which originated from Russia's Voronezh, Rostov, and Crimea regions, primarily targeted the Odesa capital, where a 25-story apartment building suffered upper floor destruction, resulting in the evacuation of seven individuals, including two children. The blast wave also damaged neighboring residential structures and a gas pipeline.
