'Massive' Russian attack on Odessa leaves 13 injured

A “massive” Russian drone attack in Odessa has left 13 people injured, including three firefighters who were taken to hospital and are in stable condition.

According to Ukraine's State Emergency Service , the attack hit 10 Ukrainian targets, including seven buildings, and caused several fires.

Firefighters were injured after structures of a four-storey building, which was “completely engulfed in flames”, collapsed. Three people were rescued by rescue teams and another six were evacuated from the scene.

Another 23-story building also caught fire. 600 people were evacuated, including two children who had been trapped inside an apartment.

In addition to residential buildings, there was also damage to the infrastructure of Odessa's main train station. However, according to Ukrzaliznytsia (the company that manages Ukraine's railways), "trains are operating as planned."
