Several apartments were damaged, one person received burns and was hospitalized. Another affected drone crashed through the roof of a two-storey residential building in Prymorsky district of the city. Another UAV crashed in the same residential area, next to an apartment building damaged during the previous attack. The blast wave caused a lot of damage to the glazing of surrounding houses, a car parked in the yard was completely burned out, and several more were beaten," the report says.

It is clarified that four people were injured, they received assistance on the spot, treated on an outpatient basis. Rescuers released one of the victims from the rubble.

In addition, the Southern Defense Forces informed that it was not possible to avoid hits. The enemy got into the warehouse of a furniture factory in the industrial district of Odesa. A massive fire broke out due to a large number of flammable substances.

"A man who was riding a bicycle nearby was thrown to the ground by a shock wave, injured by fragments of various objects that flew apart from the explosion. Medical care has been provided, he is being treated on an outpatient basis," the message reads.
