Ukraine: Fresh Russian Strikes Hit Kyiv and Odesa, Civilians Wounded
Kyiv: Fresh Russian aerial attacks struck parts of Ukraine, including the Kyiv and Odesa regions, damaging residential and civilian infrastructure, according to Ukrainian officials.
The latest strikes came as Kyiv faced another night of attacks. Odesa was also hit by Russian drones overnight.
In Odesa, eight people were wounded, including a child, officials said. A 24-storey residential building was damaged in the attack.
Several apartments were reportedly affected across multiple floors. Office buildings and two educational facilities were also damaged.
The attacks also caused disruption to the city’s electricity supply. Electric-powered public transport was affected following the damage.
Kyiv Region Also Targeted
Russian attacks also hit the Kyiv region during the latest barrage.
Officials said a man and a woman suffered shrapnel injuries in morning attacks. The incident came during a wider period of repeated Russian strikes on the capital.
Wednesday marked the seventh consecutive day of attacks on Kyiv, according to reports.
The latest barrage was less intense than some previous attacks. However, explosions and damage were reported in several areas.
Russian Drones Strike Central Kyiv
Separate reports said Russian drones struck central Kyiv on Wednesday morning.
The attacks damaged residential and university buildings. A direct hit on a university reportedly forced around 160 students to take shelter.
The latest strikes have added to growing pressure on residents. Air raid alerts have repeatedly disrupted daily life in the Ukrainian capital.
Odesa Faces Power Disruptions
The attack on Odesa also affected local infrastructure.
Officials said damage to power facilities caused electricity outages in parts of the city. The disruption affected electric public transport.

Russia Launches Large Drone and Missile Attack
Ukraine’s Air Force said Russia launched 174 drones and several missiles during the overnight attack.
The barrage included attack drones and ballistic and air-launched missiles, according to Ukrainian officials.
Ukrainian air defence forces worked to intercept the incoming weapons. Some attacks, however, caused damage and casualties.
Zelenskyy Calls for More Air Defence Support
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy again called on international partners to strengthen Ukraine’s air defence capabilities.
He also urged tougher sanctions against Russia.
Zelenskyy said Ukraine needs additional support as Russian attacks continue to target cities and infrastructure.
