A Russian drone attack on Odesa killed three people and injured at least eight others, Governor Oleh Kiper reported on March 2.
Among the injured is a three-year-old boy who is currently hospitalized with a wounded leg. The other victims are reportedly in moderate to severe condition. Some of the injured include a pregnant woman and a 26-year-old girl in serious condition.
The drone reportedly struck the ninth floor of a high-rise residential building. Three people were found dead, buried under the rubble, including a child, the State Emergency Service said.
Five people were reportedly rescued from the rubble.
Many nearby apartments were also left without heat as a result of the attack.
A drone attack was announced in Odesa at around 0:40 a.m. local time.
Drone attacks are a daily occurrence in Ukraine, affecting various regions across the country.

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?
