At least three individuals were injured during a drone attack on Odesa conducted by Russian forces in the early hours of June 28. This was reported by Oleg Kiper, the head of the Odesa regional military administration, via Telegram.
According to Kiper, the attack targeted Odesa and the surrounding area using strike drones. Damage has been reported to civilian infrastructure, including residential buildings and vehicles. Efforts to address the aftermath of the strike are ongoing.
Local authorities are assessing the extent of the damages and coordinating emergency response services to assist those affected. The military administration has urged residents to remain vigilant and heed air raid alerts.
This drone strike is part of a broader pattern of escalating attacks in the region, as hostilities between Ukraine and Russia continue. The impact of these strikes raises concerns over the safety of civilians and the stability of critical infrastructure.
The international community has condemned such acts of aggression, emphasizing the need for accountability and adherence to humanitarian standards. Discussions surrounding additional support for Ukraine are ongoing among allied nations.
In light of the incident, Kiper warned that residents should prepare for potential future assaults, and advised the public to stay updated through official channels.
Analysts suggest that the frequency of attacks in urban areas is indicative of a strategic shift by Russian forces, aimed at undermining Ukrainian morale and disrupting normalcy amidst the ongoing conflict. The situation remains fluid as developments unfold.
