In the past few hours, the Odessa region has once again come under attack by Russian occupiers, who used drones overnight to strike the outskirts of Odessa and adjacent areas. As a result of this air aggression, private residences were damaged; one residential building was destroyed, roofs of structures were damaged, as well as garages and vehicles. These details are provided by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SESU), which published information on its Telegram channel. According to official data, reconnaissance recorded the infiltration of enemy drones into the Odessa district during the night. Around midnight, reports indicated hits on targets, causing large fires and destruction of private homes. Preliminary estimates suggest that a residential house approximately 100 square meters in size was burned down, and there was also a fire in another part of private property. Firefighters quickly arrived at the scene and extinguished the fire, preventing further damage. Additionally, the explosions damaged roofs of several residential buildings—specifically, roofs of three structures were torn off—and garages were destroyed while vehicles were damaged. Witnesses and official sources reported damage to two garages, one of which was completely destroyed and burned, and three passenger cars standing nearby were also affected. Furthermore, fences, the gas supply system, and any indication of a gas pipeline fire have not been confirmed. In another part of the district, two garages that caught fire during the strike were leveled to the ground, and another vehicle was destroyed. A residential building was also damaged afterward, but according to rescue services, there were no casualties or injuries. The SESU emphasizes that all residents were promptly evacuated, and human losses were prevented. Fortunately, as of this time, no lives are at risk due to the enemy's nighttime actions. Emergency services have intensified their operations in the emergency zone, working to eliminate the consequences of the attack and ensure the safety of the population. The Ukrainian Armed Forces and law enforcement agencies have already started investigating the causes and circumstances of the night missile and drone strikes, and they call on residents to remain vigilant and follow safety rules. This is yet another reminder of the difficult situation in the region and the need for increased defense and support for local residents. At the same time, authorities urge to stay calm and avoid panic, assuring that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will continue fighting for every Ukrainian's safety in this area.
