Officials reported that multiple apartment buildings were damaged during the strike, with emergency crews continuing rescue, cleanup, and recovery operations across affected districts. Images from the scene showed shattered windows, damaged facades, and extensive destruction to civilian infrastructure.

Authorities said the number of injured rose to seven as emergency responders continued assessing the aftermath of the attack. Restoration and debris-clearing efforts remain underway as residents and local services work to recover from the strike.

The latest attack underscores the continued vulnerability of Ukrainian cities to Russian drone and missile attacks more than four years after the start of Moscow’s full-scale invasion. Odesa, a key Black Sea port city, has repeatedly been targeted by aerial assaults that have damaged homes, energy infrastructure, and civilian facilities.
