The Odesa region, particularly its Danube port and energy infrastructure, has repeatedly been targeted by Russian drones and missiles since the start of Moscow’s full-scale invasion.
The latest strike came the same night Russian forces also attacked Zaporizhzhia, damaging a residential building and injuring one person, according to local officials.
