Russian drones strike Odesa suburbs, two civilians injured
Explosions were heard in Odesa as Russian forces launched a Shahed drone attack on the city, leaving two people injured, local governor Oleh Kiper reported on May 23.
"The Russian drones struck the Odesa suburbs," Kiper wrote.
"A private house was damaged and a man was injured. Emergency services are working to address the aftermath of the Russian attack."
He later updated his post and added that two people were wounded.
Earlier, Ukraine’s Air Force had warned about groups of Shahed drones heading toward Odesa and the surrounding area.
Overnight and into the morning of May 23, Russian drones targeted several Ukrainian oblasts. In Chernivtsi Oblast, a UAV strike caused a fire at a railway station. In Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, buildings and vehicles were damaged.
In Poltava Oblast, a direct drone strike and falling debris destroyed a building at a local enterprise and triggered a fire. Power lines were also damaged, leaving over 100 legal entities and nearly 1,800 residential consumers without electricity.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
