Russian drone strikes struck an energy facility, ignited a shopping mall blaze, and damaged homes across Odesa Oblast overnight, governor Oleh Kiper reported on Nov. 4.
The incoming Russian munitions struck an electric power facility, a commercial shopping center, and private residential dwellings across the region.
State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SES) reported that responding firefighting units fully localized and extinguished the blaze that broke out inside the Odesa shopping mall, preventing the flames from engulfing the broader retail complex.
Within the city of Odesa, blast waves and falling debris damaged private residential homes and a parked vehicle, resulting in zero civilian injuries, Head of the Odesa City Military Administration Serhii Lysak clarified.
Across the entire overnight assault, Russian forces launched 310 strike and decoy drones against Ukrainian territory, with air defense units successfully intercepting and neutralizing 272 of the unmanned aerial vehicles nationwide.
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.
