On the evening of November 14, Russian forces once again attacked Odessa, with a Shahed drone strike hitting a residential building, resulting in casualties, including one fatality and several injuries.
The incident was reported by the head of the Ukrainian President’s Office, Andriy Yermak, and the head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration, Oleh Kiper.
"Another Russian attack in Odesa. A strike on a residential building. Putin just enjoys waging war on civilians. He respects no one—a sick-minded terrorist," Yermak stated.
Kiper clarified that Russians launched a massive drone attack on Odesa and its surrounding areas, injuring at least two people. The attack damaged residential buildings, a church, and several vehicles, causing fires in certain locations. A main heating pipeline was also hit, forcing the shutdown of one of Odessa's heating plants.
A woman was killed and at least 8 others were injured in the assault.
Emergency services are working to address the damage, and medical assistance is being provided to those affected.
