According to Ukrinform, Oleh Kiper, head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration, reported this on Facebook.

“The enemy attacked civilian and port infrastructure in the Odesa region with strike drones. Unfortunately, two people were injured – a 3.5-year-old girl and a 44-year-old man. Both were hospitalized in moderate condition. They are receiving all necessary medical care,” the statement said.

Port tanks and a construction crane, the facade and windows of a residential building, cars, and a medical facility were damaged. A kindergarten building was also destroyed.

Emergency and utility services continue to work at the scene. Law enforcement agencies are documenting Russia's latest war crimes against the civilian population of the Odesa region.
