(Reuters) – A Russian drone attack late on Tuesday killed one person and triggered power, water and heating cuts in Ukraine’s Black Sea port of Odesa for the second day running, the regional governor said.
Oleh Kiper, writing on the Telegram messaging app, said a woman aged 77 had died of shrapnel wounds on the outskirts of the city.
Drone strikes damaged critical infrastructure, leaving neighbourhoods without services, he said.
Kiper said fragments from downed drones had damaged private houses and started fires in outlying city districts. A missile strike had destroyed an empty sanatorium near the town of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, south of Odesa, he added.
East of the capital Kyiv, drones targeted a multi-storey apartment building near the town of Boryspil, smashing windows and triggering a fire in a business. Local officials reported no casualties.
