Waves of Russian missiles and drones downed: Ukraine claims

Ukraine has downed three waves of Russian missiles and drones targeting Odesa, Ukrainian army claims, the latest in a string of attacks in the southern region on the Black Sea coast.

“The enemy attacked Odesa region three times during the night, using two waves of attack drones, a total of 15, and eight Kalibr-type sea-based missiles,” the Operational Command South wrote on Telegram.

Air defence forces repelled all the attacks, but falling debris damaged a student dormitory and a supermarket in Odesa’s city centre, leaving three workers wounded, the army said.
