Dec. 31 (UPI) -- At least six people, three of them children, were injured in the southern Ukrainian port of Odessa in a Russian drone strike overnight that blacked out parts of the city, cutting off electricity, water and heat, said local officials.
The victims, including a 7-month-old infant, an 8-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy, belonged to two families in the same apartment building after Shahed-type drones targeted residential areas, causing structural damage and setting apartments ablaze.
Four buildings were hit in all, with firefighters rescuing at least eight people from one burning high-rise.
Private energy provider DTEK said two of its facilities in the region had been badly damaged, bringing to 10 the number of its plants attacked since the beginning of December.
