Russian forces attacked the city of Odesa overnight on Jan. 17, injuring three people, Odesa Oblast Governor Oleh Kiper reported.

Kiper first reported the attack at around 2:15 a.m. local time. He said Russian forces used attack drones to strike the city.

A 62-year-old man sustained a shrapnel wound and is receiving medical treatment. The other victims are a 69-year-old woman and a 29-year-old woman, who are also receiving medical attention.

The attack also damaged housing and caused multiple fires. Kiper said that 130 people have been evacuated from the damaged apartment building.
