“Russia launched drone strikes in the south of our region,” wrote Oleg Kiper, governor of the Odessa region. Two elderly women and a man in his 70s were killed, he added. Eleven other people were injured, including a child, he said.
This area, which is located on the Danube river, neighbors Romania. Even though it is very far from the front lines, it is sometimes targeted by Russian troops because of its port infrastructure, which is vital for the transit of goods. A fire broke out as a result of the attack, but was extinguished by firefighters, said Oleg Kiper. The governor released images showing a building engulfed in flames, partially destroyed and its windows broken.
