At least one person was killed in a Russian drone strike in Odessa, Ukraine, early this morning.

A Russian drone attack in Odessa, Ukraine, resulted in the death of at least one individual, as reported by the head of the city's military administration. The strike involved Iranian-designed Shahed drones, causing damage to residential buildings. The local emergency services were mobilized in response to the incident, although specific details about the timing of the attack were not disclosed.

Oleh Kiper, the regional governor of Odessa, highlighted that the assault was part of a 'massive' drone attack in the area, referring to the usage of assault drones.
