KYIV: Overnight Russian strikes on Odesa and Kharkiv killed at least three people, Ukrainian officials said early Monday.
Iranian-made drones pummelled the southern port city of Odesa, igniting fires and damaging apartment buildings and a gas pipeline, according to Sergiy Lysak, head of the city’s military administration.
“A 35-year-old man died as a result of the nighttime attack. Two people were also wounded, including a 19-year-old girl,” he posted in an update.
Regional governor Oleg Kiper said the city was “massively attacked” and confirmed the fires, but did not immediately have information on the toll.
Farther north in the Kharkiv region, state emergency services said they had recovered the bodies of a woman and a 10-year-old boy after a drone attack.
