Russian drone strike in Ukraine's Odesa leaves three dead

Kyiv: At least three people were killed as a Russian drone hit a commercial area in Ukraine’s Black Sea port of Odesa, the Ukrainian military and regional governor Oleh Kiper said on Friday.

The military said Russia launched 31 drones at Ukraine overnight, with air defences destroying 23 of them.

Firefighters recovered one body and said people might still be under the rubble as emergency teams fought to control the blaze. A woman security guard was rescued unharmed from a building, the post said.

“The bodies of two more people were found under the rubble,” Kiper, the regional governor, said on Telegram. “In total, three people died as a result of the enemy attack.”

Serhiy Lysak, governor of Dnipropetrovsk region, wrote on Telegram that the search ran through the night and other residents might still be under rubble.
