A person injured in a Russian attack on Odesa on the evening of Dec. 12 died in the hospital, Odesa Oblast Governor Oleh Kiper said on Dec. 13.

The 42-year-old man died from a heart attack after being injured in the drone strike, which injured one other person and damaged civilian infrastructure.

The man worked at a car garage and had already suffered one heart attack earlier in the afternoon, which he had survived. Doctors were unable to resuscitate him after the second heart attack.
