Russian drone strikes on Odesa early June 17 killed 1 person and injured 17 others, including a pregnant woman and a child, regional authorities said.
The body of a 60-year-old woman was recovered from beneath the rubble of a destroyed building. “My sincere condolences to her family and loved ones,” Odesa Oblast Governor Oleh Kiper wrote. Search efforts are still underway for another missing woman, with authorities expressing hope she will be found alive.
One person remains hospitalized as of 9 a.m., while the rest of the injured are receiving outpatient treatment.
The strike damaged multiple residential buildings in Odesa’s historic city center, as well as a kindergarten and an inclusive support center. Emergency services and volunteers continue clearing debris and responding to the aftermath.
The attack also damaged civilian infrastructure across the city, including residential buildings.
Emergency services and volunteers are working at the scene to clear debris.
Overnight, Russia also launched a mass attack on Kyiv, injuring at least 18 people.
Odesa, a port city on Ukraine’s Black Sea coast with a population of around 1 million, has been a frequent target of Russian attacks throughout the full-scale war.
