Warehouses at other locations were also damaged, subsequently catching fire. In Odesa, a private residential building caught fire as a result of a direct strike.

The work of rescuers was significantly complicated by continuous air-raid alerts. All fires have now been extinguished.

More than 140 State Emergency Service rescuers were involved in dealing with the aftermath of the attack.

As Ukrinform reported, one person was initially reported killed and another injured in Odesa following the Russian attack on Friday morning.
