Explosions rocked Odesa overnight on July 7 amid the threat of Shahed-type drone strikes, according to the local channels and a statement by Odesa Regional Military Administration head Oleh Kiper.
"Odesa and the surrounding area, take shelter! Russia is attacking with strike drones," warned Odesa regional governor Oleh Kiper.
Earlier, the Ukrainian Air Force had reported a threat of drone attacks. Just after midnight, drones were detected in the Sumy region, heading toward Chernihiv and Poltava regions.
The Air Force also stated that the situation with drones over the Black Sea and in the areas of Pivdennyi and Odesa remained unchanged.
At 01:06 AM Kyiv time, following Kiper's warning, it was reported that the drones had altered course toward the Kyiv region and Odesa.
