Russian attack on Ukraine's Odesa kills married couple, officials say
Authorities said the strike wrecked several homes and hit a merchant vessel, while air defenses intercepted most of the 107 drones launched overnight.
- A Russian drone attack on Odesa overnight killed a 75-year-old married couple, with Serhiy Lysak, head of the local military administration, confirming the fatalities on Telegram.
- Following a series of recent assaults, the strike destroyed residential buildings and struck a Saint Kitts and Nevis-flagged merchant ship near the port.
- More than 140 responders tackled fires after the strike wrecked multiple two-storey and three-storey buildings, while officials reported 14 to 15 people injured, with eight requiring hospitalization.
- President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the strike as a deliberate attack on civilians, calling for stronger Western air defense support as power cuts disrupted this key grain export hub.
- Alongside the measures, the EU approved a $106 billion wartime loan for Ukraine, as new European Union-imposed sanctions target Russia's banking and energy sectors.
