Russian forces launched an overnight attack on Odesa on June 28 using Shahed-type strike drones. One of the drones hit a high-rise residential building, with reports confirming two fatalities, according to Suspilne.
According to the State Emergency Service (SES), the drone struck a 21-story apartment building. The impact caused a fire on the 7th, 8th, and 9th floors. Several people were trapped inside their apartments. Five individuals were evacuated from the building, including a small child.
After firefighters extinguished the flames, rescuers found the bodies of a married couple beneath the rubble. Two injured children were taken to medical facilities — a 7-year-old boy in moderate condition and a 3-year-old child suffering from smoke inhalation. Both are receiving full medical care.
