Russian forces struck the city of Odesa with attack drones twice on the night of Jan. 25, Odesa Oblast Governor Oleh Kiper reported.

Kiper said there were two casualties, but did not provide details on the victims.

He also said the drones hit an industrial facility in Odesa, and that residential buildings and civilian infrastructure were damaged in the attack.  

Earlier, Kiper reported on the evening of Jan. 24 that a Russian drone attack injured two men. One required hospitalization for multiple cuts.
