An overnight drone attack struck the Black Sea city of Odesa, in Southern Ukraine, resulting in reports of two fatalities and fourteen injuries, according to Oleh Kiper, Head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration. Rescuers from the State Emergency Service evacuated 36 residents, including two children, from the affected areas. The consequences of the incident were widespread, affecting both residential areas and maritime assets.
Significant damage was reported across multiple residential buildings, with at least three structures sustaining major damage, including destroyed facades and shattered windows. In addition to the civilian impact, a merchant ship flying the flag of Saint Kitts and Nevis, which was en route to a port within Greater Odesa, was also damaged. A fire broke out aboard the vessel, but crew members successfully extinguished it, and no casualties were reported from the ship.
Authorities confirmed that various services are actively working to manage the aftermath of the overnight assault. While the focus remains on recovery efforts, the region has a substantial population base, with historical data indicating a significant presence of Bulgarians in the Odesa area. The official reports confirm the severity of the attack on Odesa.
Local administrators are coordinating efforts to assess the full extent of the damage and provide necessary support to the affected residents following the attack that resulted in two people being killed.
