Russian drone attack on Odesa wounds 10, officials say
Officials said the strike damaged residential buildings and a hotel, with at least 13 people injured and several hospitalized.
On Monday, April 27, 2026, Russia launched a drone attack on Odesa, injuring at least 13 people and damaging a hotel and residential infrastructure, Odesa Oblast Governor Oleh Kiper reported.
As a major Black Sea port and focal point for Ukrainian exports, Odesa has been a repeated target of Russian strikes during years of war.
The strikes caused the biggest damage in the central Prymorskyi district, where residential buildings, vehicles, and facilities were hit, sparking fires at the scene.
Two children were among the wounded, officials reported, as the Ukrainian Air Force worked to intercept approaching drone swarms and missiles during the overnight assault.
This incident follows a massive April 25 aerial strike across Ukraine that killed at least 10 people and injured 67, demonstrating the ongoing intensity of regional hostilities.
