Consecutive waves of Russian Shahed-type drones struck Odesa Oblast overnight, and although air defenses shot down at least 21 of the drones, shrapnel and debris wounded four people, Governor Oleh Kiper said on Feb. 10.
One of the injured is in serious condition, he said.
Ukrainian air defenses shot down all nine drones from the first wave of attacks, and 12 from the second and third, Kiper added.
The four injured people were all employees of port facilities. All were hospitalized.
The attacks also damaged Danube River port facilities and other civilian infrastructure in and around the port city of Izmail.

Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.
We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.
Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?
