Odesa Shelling on April 6
In the early hours of April 6, Russian military forces launched an attack on the city of Odesa, damaging residential buildings. According to reports, civilian casualties resulted from the strike, with three individuals sustaining injuries. Two of the injured have been hospitalized, while the third will receive outpatient treatment.
The assault, carried out using drones, caused damage in several city districts, including the Kyivskyi, Prymorskyi, and Khadzhybei districts. Emergency and utility services are currently on-site, working to address the aftermath of the shelling.
Sergiy Lysak confirmed that residential buildings had been hit, stating that all necessary emergency services were already deployed to the locations.
