One Dead and Several Wounded in May 25 Strike on Odesa: School and Supermarket Damaged

Combined Attack Hits Odesa Region

According to Главком: A combined missile and drone assault on the Odesa region on May 25 left one person dead and four others injured. One victim was hospitalized in critical condition, but later died from their wounds. The strike damaged an infrastructure site and nearby buildings, including School No. 120, where windows were blown out by the blast wave.

Damage from the Strike

• Glazing and facade of an infrastructure facility were damaged;
• Windows were shattered at a local supermarket;

This attack marks another escalation of violence in the area. Just five days earlier, on May 20, Russian forces targeted Odesa with drones, hitting a multi-story apartment building and completely leveling a one-story structure-though no casualties were reported that time.

The toll of civilian suffering continues to mount. In late April, a large-scale assault on Odesa struck an apartment block, destroying units and sparking fires. Emergency psychologists from the State Emergency Service provided support to 11 people, including one child. The region remains on edge as residents endure the relentless impact of the ongoing war.

The recent attacks on the Odesa region highlight the growing intensity of hostilities, directly affecting the daily lives of local communities.

With each new strike, more lives are lost or shattered, and vital infrastructure is destroyed, threatening the basic safety and stability of the population. Amid this prolonged conflict, both physical security and psychological care for survivors have become essential.

As the situation in Odesa continues to deteriorate, the recent attack underscores the escalating violence in the region. Just days before this incident, another overnight strike resulted in numerous injuries and significant damage to local infrastructure, including a kindergarten and a shopping center.
