Three people were injured and several houses were damaged in Odessa as a result of a drone strike, city authorities reported.
Late in the evening of March 18, Russia launched a drone attack on Odessa. Three people were injured in the attack, two of whom were hospitalized, according to Serhiy Lysak, head of the city's military administration.
According to him, two multi-story buildings, a building in the city's historic center, and several private homes were damaged. Fires broke out in the affected areas, but were quickly extinguished. Emergency services and utility workers are working at the scene.
It is noted that for approximately four years, Odesa has been repeatedly targeted by shelling by the Russian Armed Forces. Since the beginning of this year, both residential buildings and critical infrastructure facilities have been hit.
Meanwhile, Sevastopol in annexed Crimea also reported a drone attack. According to Mikhail Razvozhaev, responsibility for the attack lies with the Ukrainian side. He stated that air defense forces shot down 27 drones.
The airstrike in Sevastopol left one person dead and two others with moderate injuries. Windows were also shattered in several residential buildings, and shrapnel from the downed drones damaged eight cars. A fire broke out in a private home and a forest belt near Cape Fiolent, and an industrial building caught fire near Fiolent Highway.
