Russia once again attacked the southern regions of Ukraine with drones of the Shahed type. Ukraine's Air Defense Forces managed to shoot down most of the drones, according to Oleh Kiper, the Head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration

According to his information, Russia conducted a drone attack on the Odesa region for two hours. Most of the drones were successfully intercepted. However, in the Izmail district, there were hits on port infrastructure.

"Two men, truck drivers, were injured. One of them received medical assistance on the spot, while the other, with a severe hand injury, was hospitalized," Kiper wrote.

He reported that the drone attack resulted in damage to a border checkpoint building, warehouse facilities, about 30 trucks, and six trucks caught fire. Fortunately, firefighters managed to extinguish the fires.
