Russian forces launched a massive attack on Odesa on Sept. 13, damaging high-rise buildings and private homes. 20 people were injured, including two children, according to city governor Serhii Lysak.
Among the injured are a boy born in 2010 and a girl born in 2017. Besides residential buildings, other civilian sites in the city were also damaged.
Regional military governor Oleh Kiper said Russian forces are continuing an ongoing, massive missile-and-drone attack on the region. A fire broke out at the Botanical Garden, and warehouses and a children's sanatorium were damaged.
Utility crews and emergency services are working at the sites, and the response to the attack is continuing, Lysak added.
On Sept. 12, a massive combined Russian strike on Odesa sparked fires in apartments on the 21st through 23rd floors of a 25-story residential building. Rescuers only completed search operations on Sept. 13; two people were killed, and 26 were injured.
Russian forces later struck a Nova Poshta delivery company facility in Odesa, injuring two people.
Overnight into Sept. 13, Russian forces struck Odesa again. The city’s military administration reported damage to a high-rise building, private homes, two educational facilities, and infrastructure sites.
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.
