Russian forces attacked Odesa again, injuring several people, regional Gov. Oleh Kiper said on July 22.
Russian strikes damaged civilian infrastructure in the city. One Russian drone hit a two-story building, partially destroying it, Kiper said.
He later said an 82-year-old woman and a 54-year-old man were injured. The grounds of a vehicle service station were also damaged.
At about 12:30 p.m., Ukraine’s Air Force warned of drones flying from the Black Sea toward Odesa. Suspilne reported explosions in the city.
Russian forces have intensified drone and missile strikes on Odesa and surrounding Oblast in recent weeks.
On July 20, Russian forces struck infrastructure facilities in Odesa, killing three people.
On July 21, civilian infrastructure in the city center was again reported damaged, with two people injured.
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.
