Night of 'pure terror' targets maternity hospital in Odesa as 5 killed, 16 injured in Russian strikes across Ukraine

Russia unleashed another wave of deadly overnight attacks across Ukraine, launching 273 drones, killing at least five people and injuring at least 16.

While Ukraine’s air defense shot down 252 Russian drones, 21 made their way through, reported Ukraine’s Air Force.

Ukrainians in Odesa suffered the most, with 60 drones swarming the city until the early hours of the morning.

As emergency services continue to search through the rubble, two people are known to have been killed and at least 14 injured, including a child, according to reports from Odesa City Military Administration Head Serhii Lysak and regional Governor Oleh Kiper.

I'm an Army Officer's brat - but was born at Rammstein AFB. The Russians have always gone after their enemies' mothers and infants. They are no different than they were in 1972.
