During the night of February 21, Odesa was struck by drones.
Preliminary reports indicate that the drones caused damage to city infrastructure and several residential buildings.
Damage has been recorded in various parts of the city, indicating a coordinated attack.

Next steps
Local authorities and emergency services continue to work at the scene, assessing the damage and ensuring the safety of residents.
All details and official statements will be provided after the inspection is complete.
On social media, reports are spreading about large fires at the sites where drones fell. As with the previous attack, the drones struck residential buildings. Witnesses say the fires were contained, but some houses were completely burned down.
Odesa has increasingly become a target of Russian aggression in recent times. The enemy continues to attempt to strike at the peaceful population of this Ukrainian resort region.
On the night of February 17, Russia carried out a strike on Odesa using attack drones. The drones flew at extremely low altitudes, and the first explosions occurred before an air-raid warning was announced in the city, complicating the emergency response.
Additionally, on the night of January 27, Odesa was shelled by the enemy: strikes hit residential buildings in the Khadzhybeiskyi district, near the city center, causing property damage and concern among local residents.
