Russian forces struck infrastructure in Odesa overnight and into early morning, injuring six people, governor Serhii Lysak reported on Sept. 29. 

Lysak confirmed that emergency responders extinguished the blaze shortly after the impact. Two of the six injured victims remain hospitalized.

The governor added that emergency services were also continuing recovery efforts at a high-rise residential building damaged in an attack the day earlier. Fresh blast waves blew out window frames across neighboring apartment complexes and an educational facility, where municipal crews are boarding up damaged openings. Municipal services remain on site providing assistance to residents and clearing debris.

Russian Sept. 29 aerial assault

Russian forces targeted Kyiv overnight with ballistic missiles, rocket-drones, and jet-powered UAVs, with impacts and debris falls recorded across the Solomianskyi, Holosiivskyi, Obolonskyi, and Pecherskyi districts.

Russia launched an aerial offensive package consisting of anti-ship Zircon and Oniks missiles, two Iskander-M/S-400 ballistic missiles, and 152 unmanned aerial vehicles (including 82 jet-powered Shahed drones, Gerbera strike-reconnaissance drones, and Parodiya radar decoys).

Public broadcaster Suspilne earlier reported multiple loud explosions echoing across Odesa during the air raid alert.

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.
