Odesa, Ukraine. At least five people were wounded in a Russian attack on the Ukrainian city on Sunday morning, officials said, following strikes a day earlier that killed two people.

Residential areas were damaged in several districts, while authorities assessed the full extent of the damage, Odesa military administration head Serhiy Lysak said on Telegram.


Damage in residential areas

Lysak said residential areas had been damaged across several districts of the city.

Odesa, home to Ukraine’s main port hub, has faced persistent Russian missile and drone attacks in recent months, forcing the closure of seaports crucial to Ukrainian exports.

Previous day’s strike

Officials said a Russian drone struck Odesa on Saturday morning, hitting an apartment building and killing two people while injuring 26.

Several other regions in western Ukraine were also targeted in attacks that continued overnight and into Sunday morning, regional authorities said. No civilian casualties were immediately reported in those regions.
