Ukrainian drones strike Voronezh; Moscow hits aid ship near Odessa
Ukrainian drones struck the Russian city of Voronezh, killing two civilians and injuring 17, while Moscow claimed it hit a cargo ship carrying military supplies to Odessa. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed a US-proposed ceasefire in Oleshky will begin October 27. The Russian Defense Ministry said it struck a merchant vessel in the Black Sea transporting military supplies for Ukrainian forces to Odessa, without providing details on the ship or damage. Voronezh Governor Aleksandr Gusev confirmed an air defense response to the drone attack, with reports of explosions near residential buildings and a 25-story business center. Zelensky stated the ceasefire in Oleshky should last several days to allow humanitarian missions and evacuations, with Russia responsible for clearing mines from roads. He noted some residents will be evacuated to Russian-controlled areas while others will move to Ukrainian territory.
