Russian strike on Odesa Oblast kills one, injures three

Russian forces launched a massive overnight strike on civilian infrastructure in Odesa and Odesa Oblast on September 4, killing one person and injuring three others, local authorities reported. In one Odesa district, a nine-story residential building was hit, with apartments on floors six through eight destroyed, along with neighboring homes and cars. Drones also attacked private houses, destroying two, and damaged a non-residential building and vehicles, injuring a civilian and a child. Russia has conducted near-daily attacks on the region in recent months. Moscow claims targets are military infrastructure, including ports and warehouses, while Odesa officials report strikes on civilian sites and homes.
