Russian invaders launched a large-scale missile and drone attack on Ukraine's Odesa Oblast, injuring a woman and a 4-year-old child, regional governor Oleh Kiper said on July 24.
The strike damaged the roof of an apartment building, private homes and passenger vehicles.
The grounds of a business were also hit, but no damage or casualties were reported, Kiper said.
Emergency crews extinguished all fires.
Overnight, the Ukrainian Air Force reported missiles heading toward Tatarbunary and Mayaky and drones toward Zatoka.
Russia attacked Ukraine overnight with five Kh-59/69 guided air-launched missiles and 180 attack drones. Air defenses intercepted four missiles and 160 drones, the Air Force said.
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.
