Three people, including a child, were killed and another 16 were injured in a Russian attack on Odesa overnight on April 6, local authorities said.
Among the injured victims are a toddler and two teenagers. At least two of the injured were hospitalized in serious condition.
"Two people in critical condition were hospitalized: one patient is in neurosurgery, the other is in the intensive care unit for burn victims," Odesa City Military Administration head Serhii Lysak said.
In the city's Primorskyi district, a residential building and seven homes were damaged in the Russian attack. In Odesa's Kyivskyi district, 13 high-rise buildings and 39 houses were damaged, Lysak reported.
The attack also targeted the region's electricity grid. According to energy provider DTEK, around 16,700 households inside Odesa remain without power as of 12 p.m.
Russia regularly strikes Ukrainian civilian infrastructure, including residential buildings and energy infrastructure, as it continues to wage its war.
On April 3, Russia carried out an airstrike on the city of Kramatorsk in Donetsk Oblast, killing four civilians, including a 16-year-old boy, and injuring four others, regional authorities reported.
Russia dropped the largest number of aerial guided bombs (or glide bombs) on Ukraine in March since the start of the full-scale invasion, totalling 7,987 bombs, Ukraine's Defense Ministry reported on April 3.
