**Tragic Night in Odessa: Russian Drone Attack Hits Residential Building**
Last night, the city of Odessa was hit by a wave of Russian drone attacks, resulting in devastating consequences. A 21-story residential building was struck, causing a massive fire on the 7th, 8th, and 9th floors. The attack trapped people inside their apartments, leading to a tragic loss of life.
According to reports from the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, rescuers were able to evacuate five people, including a small child, while two people – a couple – were found dead under the rubble. Four adults and two children, aged 7 and 3, were injured and hospitalized in moderate condition. The rescue efforts are ongoing, complicated by repeated air raid alerts.
This tragic incident is just one part of a wider wave of Russian drone attacks across Odessa. Multiple explosions and fires broke out in residential areas, causing damage to civilian infrastructure and vehicles. As the National Police of Ukraine reported, nine people were injured, including two children, and two people lost their lives as a result of the shelling.
**Humanitarian Crisis Unfolds**
The attack has left many residents without homes, with an “Unbreakable Point” set up on-site to provide support and aid. Psychologists are also on hand to assist those affected by the trauma of the event. The State Emergency Service employees were able to quickly extinguish the fires that broke out as a result of the strikes.
This latest attack is a grim reminder of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, where civilian infrastructure and lives are being targeted by Russian forces. As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the people of Odessa and Ukraine will need all the support and solidarity they can get in these dark times.
